Caloroga Shark Media. Hey man, I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Let’s start with Tony Hinchcliff again, sourcing here from coutahoulic ITR Wrestling and a fight ful select but apparently backstage at WWE Raw the other night, Tony Hinchcliff’s appearance came across as a dud. Some fans did not think Tony was funny during his appearance. I thought he was okay.

Some also didn’t like the one joke that suggested that the only things differ than announcer Michael Cole was big E’s neck. Big E has not wrestled since suffering a broken neck in March of twenty twenty two. Big E addressed the joke during WWE’s Raw recap and said, I guess at might big age of thirty nine years old, people will say what they want about you. The opin interview has nothing to do with me. It’s not my business.

Looks. Say what you want. He was given a mic, he was given opportunity how they want to feel. There’s a lot of discourse oftentimes as a public figure, people say things about you, whether the joke or not, and that’s their right. And I think the one thing is I’m on here.

It was set on the show. I’m supposed to talk, you know, especially when things are mentioned about me, I should have an opinion about them. It’s just tiring going to have to weigh in on everyone’s opinion or whatever they say. Look, I’m not hurt. I’m good.

I want the discourse to be had without me. Honestly, I have no desire to weigh in on this. I didn’t sign up for this. It wasn’t aware of this. He did what he wanted to do.

People signed off on. It has nothing to do with me, truly. MSNBC’s headline Netflix is killed Tony Special proofs the entertainment manisphere lives on. They write in Trump’s America, neither getting canceled nor refusing to say you’re sorry amounts to career suicide. It might even land you a three show deal with Netflix.

Oh is this thing? Only three shows? And one’s already gone and they already played the Shane Gillis card I don’t who knows? Actually, let me go on. I’ll see how the show is doing.

Got the Netflix Top ten. My source here is at netflix dot com. As I record this on Wednesday at eleven twenty four am Eastern Gone Girls, Adolescence Love on the Spectrum, Paul’s The Medical Show, which is awful, The Residence, which is fun. W W E RAW at six Miss Rachel Devil May Care, Million Dollar Secret, Survival of the Thickest, So Kill Tony not up there and MSNBC rights. To my mind, the comedy was mostly predictable, derivative, and formulaic, but that misses the point exactly.

I’m glad. He added that that misses the point because I was going to hit you with that as an artistic endeavor. Kill Tony is not cutting edge, but it is culturally irrelevant and massively so. Monday Night was definitely for the boys. Killer Be Killed featured lots of men, men who were happy to be in the company of other men as they ridiculed other men.

Of the twenty or so comics who partook and Killer Be Killed, nineteen of them were dudes skipping ahead. Then there’s the show’s manly visual aesthetic. The set is dark, it is lined with beefy, shiny bald guys and others in weird hats. There’s a live man whose musicians perplexingly crack up at every joke. The audience stoked prime for an endless cavalcade of hot man on man smackdowns.

The episode in parts of basic bro code fellas, crave, competition, and combat. These stand ups who do well are sometimes invited back. There was also a Mexican drum off, a killed Tony tradition apparently Yes Yes, MSNBC rights. At some point in the episode, Hinchcliffe eventually noticed that few women were on his Netflix special. In an attempt to diversify the proceedings, he forsook the bucket and called one amateur female comic to the stage.

Even though her minute was unremarkable, He later invited her to perform at his Madison Square Garden show this August. I was surprised that Gillis slash Trump didn’t dub him Tony DEI Hinchcliff in response. In all, it was a very manly night. Okay. Newsweek wrote about kill Tony.

They saw what the civilians are saying, and the civilians are echoing what I forgot to put in yesterday and had to have the AI voice once I realized I forgot to make the point. Joe Rogan was there for two hours, and I’m sure he spoke at some point, but he sure wasn’t participating. On the kill Tony subreddit, one user wrote, Joe Rogan is the worst guess ever why they keep bringing him on? Somebody replied, the guy owns the place. He’s gonna be there if Netflix is going to come out to film the episode.

Someone else said, like, I get it, he kind of has to be there if he owns the club, and you know it’s on Netflix, But come on, at least engage more. I feel like he’s like that on every episode he’s a guest on. I feel like you should have definitely engaged more. No, it’s gonna air on Netflix. I feel like the whole Netflix show was unauthentic.

I spoke my pec yesterday in case you missed it. I think the show works better for me as an audio podcast. I can listen to a double speed and hit skip six times in a row and something’s not working. I also feel that the first ten minutes was way below par, and they put a roadblock to the casuals. The casuals are never going to make it to minute eleven.

When Shane Gillis’s Trump came out, David Spade will have a new special for Amazon out May sixth. It’s called Dandelion. In Dandelion, David Spade takes on the pearls of flying charity auctions, the evolution of porn, and more. They put out a trailer and here are the jokes David’s bade chose to share. How’s that for a lead?

I was eight years old. I almost got kidnapped. I’ll make it funny. I came out here blonde hair, look like exactly mcaulay culgan and I was kind of tan. I was like shorts.

I mean it was almost in trapman. I’m a bit of a dandelion. I don’t know if you can tell. I looked tough on TV, but these quads are deceiving. Down ladies.

Okay, that’s Dandelion May sixth on Amazon. Put it on your calendar. Status tells the story of Rob Schneider paying a visit to the Los Angeles Times headquarters accompanied by Cheryl Hines. Schneider was active talk with the owner of the La Times about launching a conservative version of the view. He envisioned it as a talk show with a rotating panel of host that would appeal to the mega crowd and would be filmed live in front of a studio audience.

Status says the talks fell apart for one big reason. In particular, Schneider proposed a budget of fourteen million dollars to pretty use the show. The two sides could not agree on a budget. Fourteen million dollars is excessive. Seth Myers and John Oliver are extending their residency at New York’s Beacon Theater.

They’ll be there through the end of twenty twenty five. You can go see them July twenty seven, September twenty one, October twenty sixth, November twenty third, or December fourteenth. If you want to see them in August, you are currently out of luck. Each performer does forty five to fifty minutes of stand up, and then they come on stage together to take questions from the audience. Seth.

If somebody actually offers you that SNL gig, take it. Twelve thirty talk shows are dying.

Speaking of twelve thirty talk shows today in New York City conversations Dav…

Yeah, they’re at the Perlman Performing Arts Center. The official description Late Night Legend David Letterman brings his trademark dry humor, irreverence and sincere curiosity back to Pack NYC for conversation with his longtime friend and former music director Paul Schaeffer. You know we could film this, guys. I’m just saying, Okay, let’s see what’s happening at the comedy festivals tonight at the Rhyme and Nikki Glaser there again, seven o’clock, Jared Freed at the labt Zeni’s at seven at main Zanies. Right now with John Goblcan.

I’m not familiar with John. I don’t recall ever seeing the name before you guys can shout at your phone all you want and just being honest. Apparently Right now with John GOBLICHN is the official podcast from necro Goblet Cohn singer John Goblcan. He interviews his famous friends from comedy, music and entertainment. Seems he dresses up as a goblin and four weeks ago had Dan Soder and that video has one hundred and thirteen thousand views.

Hey, you learn something new every day hosting this podcast. Huh. Jared Freed is another show at nine point fifteen, and that’s it for tonight. All right. If we were in Nashville, did we see Nikki yet?

I guess we’d go see Nicky in uh, I don’t know, go get some drinks again for the late show at moontow or tonight seven o’clock paul Is Shore, nine thirty, the not so Cancel Disease. I’m sorry nine Trevor Wilson. So I had said last night we would go see k Trevor Wilson, So I guess would go see AZ’s tonight for the late show and Paulie not many other choices. The Trevor’s City Comedy Festival is up and running tonight through the weekend. The big show there is at seven o’clock Josh Blue at the City Opera House.

So if you gave me a transporter machine and you were like, hey, John, we’re gonna go see some comedy. Should we go to Nashville, Trevors City or moontower? Out of all the things I’ve talked about, and picking Josh Blue at Trevor’s City Comedy Festival, good lineup, though some other headliners scheduled. According to the press release, Mark Maren J. Farrow, Natasha Laziro and a bunch of others will take a look at that.

Over the next few days, I did hear from Dan Bubletz Junior, who tells me he’s working on the Melbourne Florida National Comedy Festival twenty twenty six. We were texting. Yesterday. I went to the brand new Bjay’s wholesale club that just opened near my house and I was out there shopping and I was in the car and I got a text. Wife’s like, who’s Dan Boobletz.

And I’m like, he’s a comedian. He Litsen’s show and he has your number. I’m like, yeah, he has my number. We text sometimes anyway. So Boobletz is working on this thing.

I have asked him to book Adam Sandler as the headliner. I will keep you guys posted Melbourne National Comedy Festival this time next year in Melbourne, Florida. We are working on this. It is definitely going to happen. No chance that this is a bit.

We are doing this. The folks at the Age went to see Randy Adiva’s show Killer from Manila this at the Melbourne Australia International Comedy Festival. They give it four and a half stars out of five. Killer from Manilla is about Randy being proud of his rich Filipino origins his identity as an Asian Australian being under society’s Western microscope. Guilty if they gat too much.

A self confessed knowledgeable movie buff and a super diehard sports fan. We’re taken through several what if scenarios movie scenes and we meet Randy’s favorite celebrities that he looks up to. Sounds like a fun show.

Also, the Age went to see Hannah Camillary that show what I’m going for in th…

Falling in love Sammy Jay Is The show is called the Kangaroo Effect. In The Kangaroo Effect, Sammy j essentially brings the Charlie da meme from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. It’s a life clawing through an archive of VHS tapes and blurry polaroids to set out a series of suspects that are to blame for him turning up at a house party in a kangaroo onesie. That’s fun. They gave that one four stars.

Luke McGregor’s show Okay Wow, is a fifty five minute show, well paced through seemingly random thoughts with just the right amounts of audience chit chat. Topics include flat earther ADHD diagnosis, step kids, the shape of his appendage, and finding the love of his life. The age gave Luke McGregor OK Wow four stars. Shanna Christmas will have a new special out on Amazon and YouTube May twentieth, and as an album album on Comedy Dynamics May twenty third. You know how I know this?

Shanna Christmas publicist sent it to me. See if you work for Hulu and you send me something, I’ll read it. Shot live in an intimate jazz club in the heart of downtown Las Vegas, the special captures Shanna Christmas doing what she does best, making people laugh so hard they forget they’re in a dark room with strangers. There is a spoiler here. I don’t want to tell you what it is, but Shanna says, I wanted to make a special that it felt like me.

Loud, fast, honest, funny, but also full of real life because comedy is how I take my power back. There’s a for YOUA and I want people to feel theirs too. Highly intelligent YouTube, and Amazon May twentieth, all remind you as we get a little closer. And that is your comedy news for today, See tomorrow.

Caloroga Shark Media. Hey there, we’ve got some Netflix synergy going on over there. Hi, I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Let’s start with WWE RAW. Apparently there was some sort of after show.

I’ve seen the video clips of it, but the announcers weren’t sticking around. Bert Kreischer jumped in the ring. There’s a fun clip if you want to go search it out. During the main show, Bert was seen in the audience drinking and chugging beer. He did a backstage interview that was interrupted by the faction American Maid, which as you know are Julius Creed, Brutus Creed, Chad Gable, and Ivy Nile.

But then a different faction showed up, the Alpha Academy, who as you know, are Otis, Maxine Dupree, and Akira Tozawa. They showed up. Luckily everyone got along. Kreischer and Otis both tore off their shirts. But then after sign off, CM Punk was in the ring.

As I understand things, Grace and Waller and Austin Theory you know them as atown down Under. Of course, they targeted CM Punk and try to take him out. Krazier jumped the ringside barrier to confront Grace and Waller. Luckily, Cempunk recovered, Punk invited Krasier into the ring. Then Bert Krescher executes a choke slamb on Waller.

The crowd loved it. Not sure why that didn’t make the live show. I don’t know how wrestling works, but a lot of fun and I love the crossover. It’s just such an environment to have the comedians on. For example, say you were promoting a fellow show on Netflix, you could have Tony Hinchcliff on ww RAW.

What would that sound like? Hmm, let’s wonder Tony Hitchcliff. I am happy to be here. This is so exciting. I’ve been watching since the Attitude era.

Michael Hole has been watching since the Jurassic era. So West, congratulations on your show, Kill Tony debuting on Netflix today. Couldn’t be happier. Happy to be here on Rock. This is a childhood dreams come true.

This is absolutely unbelievable. Mcfee’s the man, Michael Coole. I’ve been watching you forever. The first match you called was David versus Goliath. I did watch Kill Tony’s Netflix debut, and I think they blew it.

There’s no way a casual is going to make it through those first ten minutes. Maybe the Hinchcliff crew doesn’t care, but somebody should being on scene going, hey, it’s episode one, to a lot of new people, don’t introduce the band, nobody cares, get right to it, and the first comedian out of the box was horrific. There’s no way a casual watch those first ten minutes when oh, I really like this show. This is good, which sucks because if they had made it to minute eleven out comes Shane Gillis as Trump and I will tell you as I watched and skimmed the two hours, Shane tried really hard to carry the show. Luck of the draw.

The names coming out of the hat weren’t that good. The set pieces that were planned Shane of course, Adam Ray coming out, Ron White as your clothes, those were all good as expected. But the civilians, it was a particularly poor group of civilians. Ai Johnny mack here Hume and John forgot to record his observation that Joe Rogan is there, and did Joe Rogan speak at all? He was silent.

Tom Sagora also joined the panel at one point and didn’t add all that much except suggesting a landscape or get a website. I’m not sure how much the casuals are going to like episode one of Netflix Kill Tony. The show looked good, but I’ll tell you I was trying, and at some point after an hour in Now, I did watch the first hour entirely, but then I just started skimming ahead to is Shane gillis doing Trump right now or not? I think for me the show works better as an audio podcast, where I can listen at two x and if a comedian isn’t working for me, I can go SA sape, safe, Sape, sape, sape, sape, say Scape, which is a little easier to do on a podcast app than my Roku. Anyway, I do like the show a lot.

I am a fan, as I just I think it works better for me as an audio podcast. And I feel bad here because I think people would like the show if exposed to it, but they’re not going to get through that first ten minutes. Shame production. Somebody produced it wrong. Sorry, guys.

Let’s stay down in Austin for Now podcaster Sam Harris is getting into it with Joe Rogan on his own podcast, Sam Harris recently discussed Joe and said Joe is a genuinely good guy who wants good things for people, but he is honestly in over his head on so many topics of great consequence. Harris says society is politically shattered in part because of how Rogan has interacted with information. Quote A lot of this is inadvertent, but it’s also voyable. Rogan could actually take the responsibility that really is his to take at this point to get his facts straight. He could have two brilliant journalists who’s full time job.

He could pay them each a million dollars a year to just sit there and make sure he doesn’t put his foot in his mouth in a colossally irresponsible way. Harris criticized comedian Dave Smith, who was recently on the show. I have not listened to that episode yet, but I did listen to last night they had on the Guy that is bringing Back the Dire Wolves. That was a really good listen. I do like Rogan’s podcast, especially as a late night listen.

Among other reasons that the volume doesn’t go up and down so as I drift off to sleep. And this is actually a compliment, not a dig. I find Rogan very calming. Last night, I was having a lot of trouble falling asleep, so I enjoyed the company. And did I tell the story of when I was in Antarctica?

If not, I’ll tell it again really quickly. So we went out camping overnight on the ice in Antarctica. I’ve never been so cold, and I’m not doing a bit here. I was so cold at one point that I was starting to blink out, wink out, and I contemplated, is this what dying feels like. I’m not doing a bit.

I’m not being melodramatic. I’ve never been so cold in my life. Now. I had brought my headphones and my phone, but to operate such a thing was an ordeal because I just wanted to keep I was wrapped up on the sleeping bag, so so cold. So I hit play on a four hour Joe Rogan episode because I knew it would get me until four am when the boat would come back and get us off this iceberg.

Actually it was an island, it wasn’t an iceberg. So I got my hand out of the glove and I hit play on Rogan and Tulca Gabbard and I listened to the whole thing as I sat there miserable, shivering. But it was four hours long, So thank you Joe Rogan for that particular night. But back to Sam Harris versus Joe Rogan, Harris criticized Dave Smith, who was recently on the show. Smith wrote back on Twitter, Sam’s correct.

The only reason that anybody even knows who I am is because of Joe Rogan. I should have earned it the old fashioned way by having my mother create the Golden Girls. That reference is that Harris’s mother is Susan Harris, a TV writer and producer who created The Golden Girls. It is a busy news day on a lot of other days, this would be the lead. Mike Birbiglia will have another at Netflix special.

This one is called The Good Life. It’ll be out May twenty sixth on Netflix. Interesting to me, May twenty sixth is Memorial Day, a Monday. Normally Netflix specials come out on Tuesday, but I guess they wanted to pull it into the holiday weekend. In the Good Life, Verbiggs combines jokes and storytelling as Mike talks about his father suffering a stroke and how that led to Mike reevaluating his own ideas about fatherhood.

Berbiglia said in a statement, over the years, I’ve done a lot of personal shows, but somehow this one is the most personal because it’s not in my past. It’s my life right now, so there’s really no filter. At certain points during the hour, I literally thought, on stage, WHOA am I really going to tell the story? But that’s sort of the idea behind these shows. I try to probe in it what’s most painful in order to figure out what’s most funny.

Personally, the Verbiglia storytelling shows don’t grab me. I understand. I’m in the minority there. I really liked his early stand up comedy when it was stand up stand up, but I try and watch these specials and I’m just like, eh, it’s just not my thing. It’s fine.

He’s very popular and he’ll do fun without me going, hey, I’m excited, but you know, not my thing. Dave Chappelle did a show Saturday night. On a lot of other days, this would be the lead Dave and musician y Clef Jean. We’re celebrating the Haitian community. This happened in Yellow Springs, Ohio.

You may recall there were some false rumors about eating cats and dogs, you know, about a year ago. Chapelle said, the negativity has been so loud, and this celebration was to amplify positive voices. Dave said, I think they hear so many negative voices that it’s good to hear some positive voices. And let’s see a hero from Haiti meaning white Cloff Sean saying we love y’all. All these people were brought here legally, all the unrest in Haiti, and they put this extra burden of xenophobia on them.

Chapelle said he called Jean as soon as those rumors spread. Sean was on tour at the time, but Dave says he stayed on me. I stayed on him, and finally this thing happened, and I think it needs to happen. I think it’s an important lesson, not just for the Haitian community, but for all communities, like look, there are people trying to assimilate in America. It’s a very difficult thing to do.

I think would all be better by embracing our new neighbors than marginalizing them. And I think that why Cleff was the perfect combassador. Amber Ruffin, who was disinvited from the White House Correspondents Dinner, has a new gig. Pen America I announced that Ruffin will host the Free Expression Organization’s gala fundraiser May fifteenth. Penn’s co interim CEO praised Amber Ruffin for her brilliant social commentary, satire, and exceptional talent.

She is truly emblematic of the talented creators who we need on stages and in writers rooms during a time of unprecedented censorship in this country. We’re both delighted and honored to have her here with us. Ellie King was on the Dumb Blonde podcast. She talked about her father, Rob Schneider. King said, I go like four or five years without talking to my dad.

If I would ever spend a summer with my dad growing up, it would be on a movie set. I would just get lost in the shuffle. She described herself as quote a really, really heavy child and said Rob sent her to a fat camp. She also said her dad forgot about every single birthday, including when she turned eighteen, and called Rob Schneider very toxic and very silly. Tonight, on the John Mulaney Netflix show Bill hater Chelsea Peretti Johnny Knoxville human Resources executive employee coach Katie and music from Bortize Strange.

After I watched kil Tony the other night, I put Melanie on to give it another shot, and it’s not good and people are on threads. You’re very upset at me for voicing that opinion, anyone who’s listening to the show four years. No, I like John Mlanie’s comedy, but this show is not good. The Atlantic wrote a funny article about it, and I’ll just push back that, sure, we should all applaud John mulani for trying and trying to do something different, but at some point shouldn’t the show actually be funny? Don’t we actually need results at some point?

Let me give you a straw man argument. What if the show was called Everybody’s Live with Spike Ferristed. Would people be like, boy, Spike’s really trying hard, He’s trying to do something different with his late night show on Netflix. No, the show would be panned Mlanie’s coasting on the Goodwill. I’m just calling a straight shot here.

The show’s not good and I like John Mulaney. Both things can be true. The Mountawer Comedy Festival kicks off tonight and goes until April nineteenth. Over one hundred media spanning stand up, sketch and musical comedy will be there. Some of the comedians include Disease I’m Sorry, Tiffany Hattish, Alex Moffett, and Michael Yo.

Tonight, Alex Edelman at seven o’clock a Porner and I’m sure allowed get to see her back on stage it’s seven. AZA’s I’m Sorry not So canceled at nine thirty, and Kay Trevor Wilson at nine thirty. If we were in Austin, I would make you go see Aparna and Kay Trevor Wilson, who deserves more theme. Plus, I thought we canceled Disease. Didn’t we cancel Disease?

Disease is back.

Meanwhile, down in Nashville, if you listen to yesterday’s podcast, you know …

Yeah, she wasn’t there last night. She’s there tonight Wednesday, April ninth, at seven pm at the Ryman. Nikki Glaser over at the Lab at Zanies at the same time. Jared Freed also at seven. Robert Kelly is the headliner at Zani’s nine point fifteen at the Lab Story Wars with Big Jay Ogerson and Louis J.

Gomez. If we were in Nashville tonight, I would say, let’s go see Nikki Glaser at seven and let’s skip the late show and go take in some country music and a couple beverages and maybe some hot chicken. Nashville runs all the way through Sunday, which is cool, planned to talk about. This week, The lgbt l L Queer Comedy Festival announced their lineup. Co founder Ryan Rodgers said, while extremists try to erase us, we’re making it impossible to ignore us.

Comedy has always been a form of resistance, and right now, queer joy is revolutionary. This year’s festival is more than a celebration. It’s a rally cry against censorship, discrimination, and the silencing of lgbtqia plus stories. This festival runs May twenty ninth through June first in New Orleans, kicking off Pride Month. Your headliner is Corey O’Brien, Paris Sachet, and Gabby Watts.

More than one hundred comedians from across America apply to perform to do a couple of reviews of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Still haven’t heard from Booblitz. I don’t know if the Melbourne, Florida National Comedy Festival twenty twenty six is happening or not. Dan’s probably one of those guys that catches up and listens to like seven episodes in a row, and all of a sudden hear himself called out every day for a week. Aye, Dan, all right, The Age has been hitting all the shows in Melbourne.

I haven’t figured out a way to get down there. You know, I could probably go down there and write it off, but I’d have to, you know, work it out with the family here, Like, Hey, I’m going to Melbourne for a comedy festival for months. See you who’s watching the dogs exactly. Tom McCusker’s show is b Gay Do Crime, Gay Spell Gae. The Age gave it four and a half stars out of five and tell us about dom from being born and raised in Hong Kong and living in the UK or Filipino Scottish upbringing and unique adoptive family to coming out as bisexual and even keeping the youth entertainment on a tall ship without the Internet.

Tom McCusker really has lots of detales to tell. Dressed in a pirate themed outfit, Dom opens to the show with a lovely solo shanty to the tune of Last Saskatchewan Pirate. See this all sounds like a lot of fun richeld. Each shanty has two sets of lyrics to form the chorus. At the start of each shanty, Dom sings through the first two lines with some call and response called toosies twosies.

How it works is Dom sings the first two lines, you and the audience sing back, and then finish the chorus off for the last two lines. That’s fun. Sarah Pesco’s show is called I Am a Strange Goop. As for Sarah, she’s gotten married and had two kids. She’s a family woman now and she wants to talk about it.

The age says, in most cases, yawn. Is that some commentary on like what’s going on with a lot of American women comics around age forty right now? I don’t know that’s the age in most cases? Yeah, and the audience really doesn’t care about them. Of your domestic life with the nocturnal bubbs and a man who feigns ignorance to escape chers.

We’ve heard that one a thousand times, but not in Pasco’s adroit hands. She waves mirth out of monotony. Be it the allure of polygamy simply to divide housework, or the juxtaposition of sexual inclinations of both men and women once they hit their forties. Four stars. They gave that one and let’s do one more.

Lil Winker’s show is called Bang That Tale. Lil Winker’s name Real bank Tail, jumps into character as Alan, aka the Baddest man in Texas. Strets on the stage in leather chaps, face a dorn with drawn eyebrows and a mustache. This show as well, has audience participation. You could find yourself portraying a heifer, a cactus, the saloon doors, or the nemesis This one woman clown at Western Blinds.

Physical comedy and silliness and a tightly constructive narrative. They gave it four stars. That’s a lot of fun too, And that is your comedy news for today. If you like the program without commercials five bucks a month commercials go away link in the show notes, or if you’re on Apple Podcast, click that link that says uninterrupted listening and you and the phone can work all that out meet you back here tomorrow,

Caloroga Shark Media. Oh man, if you sign the petition yet, Hello, I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Over twenty thousand people have signed a petition to get kill Tony off Netflix. That horrible kill Tony with his amateur comedians doing one minute of comedy and then getting slammed. You know, they put their names in a hat and didn’t get forced to perform this comedy and then kill Tony and his mean cohorts made fun of them.

Sign the petition. It’s at move on dot org. Ted Sarandos, he’s the Netflix boss. He recently did Beyond the Stream a conversation with Ted Serrandos, a big time event, and he said, I knew that the art form itself, comedy always needed a safe place to try things out. Comedians to find the culture in a bunch of ways, and they do that by figuring out where the lines are and what the joke is.

It’s the only art form that you know is working because it’s defined by the audience. If the audience laughed at work, you can’t. That’s not funny if eighteen thousand people are laughing. But what if twenty thousand people have signed an online petition. You could say you disagree with it.

You could say that it offends you, you could say that it hurts you. But you can’t say it’s not funny. If someone wants to stand on the street corner and talk on they want, that’s not a Netflix show. If you’re attracting a large audience and people are laughing at the work and it’s jokes, they’re just jokes. At the end of the day, I think if we lose our ability to laugh at ourselves, we’re in trouble.

You look back at Lenny Bruce, George Carlin and Richard Pryor. It’s amazing we’re having this debate about sensory comedians today. Sarando’s added that Chappelle is clearly in that class. You might not like all the jokes, but there’s no denying this is one of the greatest comedians of our time. Kill Tony out on Netflix.

Speaking of kill Tony, who you know is just ruining comedy apparently, go on threads. It’s just going threads and type in Tony Hinchcliff and see what you find. Tony Hinchcliffe has another Giggy’s teaming up with those wrestling people I missed this one when I was in Ireland. Tony and the WWE are working together on the roast of WrestleMania featuring Tony Hinchcliff and Friends April twentieth, ten pm West, as part of WrestleMania Week. Often remember to check out the WWE show and see if Tony makes an appearance.

Netflix is using the wrestling to do crossovers, very very smart. Now, this press release is pretty favorable towards Tony writing Hinchcliffe, the internationally renowned comedian, one of the top roasters in the world, and the mastermind behind kill. Tony will bring together top comics and entertainers for an unforgettable night of laughs and huge surprises. Some of the WWE superstars joining are Sammy Zain, the Miz Braun, Strowman, and Paul Hayman. And I probably got at least two of those pronunciations wrong.

Play a good wrestling podcast out there, this is not one of them. Sadly, the event will be non televised. Why they why you to go to this thing? Huh? Can’t you record it and show it to us?

Let’s see how much tickets are here ticket Master. I could get in right now. A very so I’d resale ticket one one hundred and thirty five dollars. That’ll get you in section four zero one. Not awful.

Hopefully they’ll change their mind and televise this thing. Bill Burr. Still in the news, Burr went on Seth Myers, which, Hey, Seth, By the way, if somebody offers you that SNL job, grab it. I’m just telling you. I’m telling you just grab it while it’s there.

Don’t wait too long, Seth asked Bill Burr. If Burt was able to mend fences with Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam, they were sitting together at SNL fifty, Burst said, I did in good nature. I was like, man, I hated your band. You edit my thing. Burr, like some of us of a certain age, liked the old time rock and roll that went from I don’t know, Chuck Berry all the way up until I think the last album is officially the Guns and Roses album, and then you know, the Pearl Jams came in and did other stuff with the Nirvanas and all that.

You kids today and your music, Burs said. Vetter was cracking up. I go to you know how long it took me to admit how great a band Pearl Jam is because now I love them, But it was twenty years ago and I was like, I’m not listening to these guys. Burr explains, I was watching all hair metal ice bands. I was loving them, and they were on the countdown.

Then Nirvana came in and I was like, what’s this? They would say Nirvana knocked it out. It was Pearl Jam. When Pearl Jam came there was another one of those grunge Seattle bands, and that’s when I was like, oh my god, this isn’t ending. They’re just gonna keep coming.

Then all my band skid Row, all of them were gone. It was just the sad guy singing about being on our bridge not being happy, and I’m like, what happened to? Nothing but a good time and ignoring all your problems with cocaine? Right like that was all over. On his own podcast, Burr recently explained that Vedder told him he was glad that Burr came around.

He was actually asking white metal bands I listened to and we got to talk baseball. What a sweetheart of a guy. Conan O’Brien revealed he considered not going to the Kennedy Center to accept his Mark Twain Prize for American Humor on his own pod, Cone and said there was a question of should I go should I not go? And I felt like it was important to show up. Johnny Max trying really hard not to be political on the podcast.

I don’t know if you guys followed the news. I’ll let you follow the news on your own. It’s really hard not to talk about, you know, the thing and the stuff con had said. First of all, we were brought in under the old regime. The people who brought me in and no longer there, but I thought we honored their decision.

Conan said, I didn’t have the strong urge to die afterwards. It’s like, what are you gonna do now? But then I realized, oh it’s on Netflix. People will see it, they’ll forget. I need to get the next prize.

I’m glad they recorded that evening because if there wasn’t a recording of it, I wouldn’t believe it. My love, and thanks to everybody who came out. I mean really busy. People flew across the country to be there, and I’ll never forget it as long as I live. I think we knew this already but more confirmation that Nate Brigetzi will make his film debut with the family comedy The Breadwinner.

Nate describes The Breadwinner in the vein of Mister Mom and Home Alone. It will be out March thirteenth, twenty twenty six. Get online for tickets now before they sell out. Nate says, it’s going to be hard to make something and then have to wait to see it. I’m used to immediate reactions.

Plus I don’t know the first thing about making a movie. I’m excited to figure it all out, what works, what’s funny when he’s tweaking. It’s gonna be a whole new world, and I can’t wait to learn. Nate talked about the changing landscape of comedy. When I was coming up, comedians out a system.

I was in New York. You do eight minutes on Comedy Central Live at Gotham, then you do a half hour special. Eventually you get an hour. There was a clear path. You were always worse looking towards.

There are rumors from Radar Online that they want to give regular Jeopardy to Colin Jost. A source says the ratings for Jeopardy have been very hit or miss so of course they’re looking to make some changes. The most important thing to understand what the franchise right now is that Colin’s hosting efforts on Pop Culture Jeopardy represent a major creative and business win for the studio, and it’s working out better than anybody anticipated. The show is a word of mouth phenomenon, is it? Are people like, Hey, did you see Colin Jost on Pomp Culture Jeopardy?

I mean losers hosting podcasts in their basement will occasionally mention it, but I haven’t seen any actual civilians talk about that show, have you. The show is a word of mouth phenomenon, and it’s brought a load of young new fans into the Jeopardy universe. If it were possible from a business perspective to just hire Colin as the full time nightly host, the studio would do it in a heartbeat and replace Jennings in the process. But Colin continues to be under contract at SNL and he still wants to live full time in New York City. Well, I got news for you.

The buzz is off SNL. Although if I were Colin, I would say at that news desk, as long as Lauren will have me. That’s a nice steady visible gig Ai is telling me Jeopardy tapes five episodes a day on two days of taping every other week, resulting in approximately two hundred and thirty new episodes. So I can solve this for everybody, Okay, and no offense, Ken Jennings. But hey, how about in the summer, will film like three days a week for like a month, and then when SNL’s on, will film on Monday and Tuesday.

Hear me out in New York. Yeah, we could build a set in New York and film it there. That will solve everyone’s problems. And Colin Jost, if somebody offers you the Jeopardy job, take it. You can do that for thirty years.

You see what Drew Carries doing over there, nice steady work. Seacrest, they were like Wheel of Fortune and great by the way, you know how you know Ryan Seacrest is doing a great job on Wheel of Fortune. Nobody talks about it. That’s exactly what you want. You don’t want anyone having a conversation like Colin jose to take over Wheel of Fortune.

See, you don’t want that conversation going. No one is talking about Seacrest no one is complet anything about Drew Carrey Colin. If they offer you this gig, no offense, Ken Jennings, take it and someone else do the math. Okay, SNL wraps up what may so say. In June, we taped three days a week, and then we did Monday and Tuesday while SNL’s on and Colin can hang out with Scarlet and go on vacation in July and August.

You know, at some point you gotta work, Colin, But you know, two full months off and we could make this work. Phil Wang comedian I really dig. He’s hosting the BAFTA Game Awards. He’s a lifelong gamer. He started with the Sega Saturn in the mid nineties.

Nube I had the old Pong games before the Atari. I mean I had an Atari, a Klico, a Nintendo with the robot and the gun. I don’t want to hear about you people that came later got a Sega Genesis. By the way, I still have always have a Colleco vision. I can go upstairs right now and get a Colleco vision.

If you want to play Donkey Kong. It’s sitting in the closet next to the Atari. Twenty six hundred. I’ve got PlayStation one, two, three, four and five. I only got on the XP this generation because I liked my PlayStations.

Honestly, this generation, I’m spending all my time on the Xbox because of game Pass PlayStation. I think it’s a better machine. But you know, no games or games on the game Pass or quote unquote free as opposed to making me pay seventy dollars. I digress. Phil Wang’s games were Rome, Total War, h Vampires and Theme Park Tycoon that makes Johnny Mack want to bust out sim City.

Phil said, I’m so thrilled to be returning as host of this year’s BAFTA Games Awards. Last year’s show is such an uplifting celebration of this incredible industry. Looking forward to continuing in that spirit and honoring another year of superb games. I played games all my life. Blah blah blah statement statement.

The ceremony today in London. It’ll be streamed live on BAFTA’s YouTube channel and on Twitch if you want to watch.

Speaking of Phil, he is one of those comedians making fun of Megan Markle, th…

And on the recent episode they all made fun of Megan. If you’re not paying attention, Meghan has a new podcast out today, which is great because I’m the writer on the Palace Intrigue podcast and we will make fun of Meghan’s podcast, Endless easy Content. I will barely have to work this week because Megan will put out something that people will make fun of and we’ll report on they’re making fun of. If you want to keep up on the royal family, especially Megan, this week Palace Intrigue wherever you get your shows. So there’s the crew on Have I Got News for You?

They showed a mocked up image of Megan wearing a chef’s hat while making jam. Yes, she’s selling designer jam. And by the way, we’ve learned through the reporting on Valace Intrigue, it’s officially not jam. It’s officially fruit spread FDA something something not enough something to qualify as official jam according to government standards. So she’s not even making jam, she’s making fruit spread.

This is how much fun Palace Intrigue is because we get into that kind of nonsense. Team Captain Ian Hislop Boy, Jenny Mexican, and all the names wrong today. Ian said her jam immediately sold out, which I thought was good unless there are only two jars. Phil Wang got in on this. He made fun of Megan’s beekeeping.

Did you see Megan going beekeeping on her Netflix show? There she held each honeycomb like it was covered in crap, and she’s like, I love coming out and getting in touch with nature, but you could see she was about to throw up. Amber Ruffin said she’s glad that she’s not doing the White House Correspondents Dinner. She was on the American version of Have I Got News for You? She told that panel I could talk for the next three hours.

What I choose to say is it’s like I lost the gig because I was out here talking crap. And I think it’s a good thing that I lost the gig because I wasn’t going to show up there and act all the way out. It’s not anyone’s fault because when we were hired, I was like, oh yeah, and we’ll give it to everybody. Ruffin says she would have had a hard time biting her tongue. Telling CNN’s panel they started disappearing people to prison in El Salvador.

They wrote back civil rights, so I was like, if we make this equal, then I’m also a piece of crap. I cain’t effing do that. Poor Jeff Ross was in the hospital. He had an allergic reaction to eating ice cream. He shared some photos.

He said it was his first allergic reaction ever, and he joked that despite looking like Mickey Rourke at the end of the wrestler, he’d be back on stage soon. Jeff explained on social media. I had a fun opening night performance of his tour. Take a banana for the ride up here in Mill Valley, California. Afterwards, me and the band celebrated with some Barrata ice cream at a restaurant down the street, courtesy of the nice owner.

It was delicious, seriously yummy. Despite the yummy dessert, his lips quickly blew up. Jeff won up in an EERI spent the night. It’s my first allergic reaction ever. I guess that’s pretty remarkable considering I’m constantly shoving whatever food is in front of me into my face.

Thank you to the overnight shift at the Marine Health Medical Center for only roasting me lightly. Oh my goodness, I just checked the clock. Johnny Mack went super long there on the first half. But I am having fun. I like hanging out with you guys.

Hey, you know what it is? Over on five Daily Trivia Questions. This week it’s Villain’s Week. That’s right, it’s a theme week. Monday was Bond Villains.

I don’t know what today is. I only write the thing, but I forget what I scheduled. I think today’s Star Wars Ville. Anyway, I could tell you what they are. It’s Bond Star Wars movie.

Scary guys like Freddy Krueger. Like that’s one of the themes. Anyway, every day there’s five daily Trivia questions and this week’s theme is Villain’s Week. Check out five Daily Trivia Questions wherever you get your shows. Jay Leno said he almost backed out of an upcoming booking in Canada.

Jay I told everyone, I’m trying not to be political. There’s a lot going on, Jay, and people are very upset, and I don’t want to upset anybody. Jay. Why wouldn’t you go to Canada? Jay was on Berrew TV.

I’m sure I pronounced that right with Canadian journalist Bill Berrew. Late Night Reports, Jay said I was almost not gonna do these Canadian dates because I didn’t want to be the ugly American coming in. Jay made fun of his recent fall down a hill, saying it’s been great for ticket sales. Tonight at the Nashville Comedy Festival six o’clock show, Dusty Slighs show is called Dusty Slays six o’clock perfect. Dusty Sleigh at six o’clock perfect.

I could see a comedy show, have two beers head out the door at seven forty and be in bed by eight fifteen. Amazing. I love this comedy festival. Jared Freed’s also at the Lab and Zanies at seven. Over at the Ryman, Nateland presents pretty good line up here, Ryan Hamilton, longtime listeners know I dig Ryan Hamilton, Dustin Nickerson, derk Stroop, Lace Larrabie, Mia Jackson, Paula Kazinski, and special host Aaron Weber.

Boy, you’d make me choose between Dusty and a bigger show at the Ryman. I would go see Dusty and then I could be home early. At Zane’s at eight fifteen That Deprived, hosted by Lewis J. Gomez, Big Jay Ogreson, Robert Kelly and Zach Amiko on that one nine to fifteen story Wars with Big Jay and Gomez. That’s at the Lab and Zanies.

Nikki Glaser is at the Ryman. No, No, that’s tomorrow. I could delat it, but that’s not fun. Nikki Glaser not at the Ryman. If you’re at the Ryman and you’re like, hey, Johnny Max said, Nikki Glaser is here tonight, she’s not.

Sometimes it’s just more fun not to edit things out. And le’s talk about the Melbourne Comedy Festival because there’s so many reviews. It’s such a big festival and if I don’t start doing these, I’m never going to get to them. Josh Glank did a show called Family Man. He’s at the Chinese Museum until April twentieth.

By the way, Dan Booblitz, what’s going on with the Melbourne Florida International Comedy Festival twenty six? Are you on this or not? Text me? You texted me like last week. You’ve got my number.

Don’t act like you don’t have my number. You texted me. The Ah tells us Josh Clang’s a Family Man is a ritous hour of musical comedy, audience interaction, and lanyard appreciation. His preacher man and French pervert characters keep the pace of the show lively and allow for a surprising multimedia callback that has everyone in the room glad they spent their heart earned money on this clown. Clown being a compliment four Stars Gary Stars show is called Classic Penguins.

He’s at the malt House until April twentieth. He can sing, he can dance, he can perform an entire show without pants. That’s one of the lesser known Doctor Seuss books. By the way, the Age tells us Scary Stars. Humor is physical, silly, and uproarious.

The interpretations are mostly literal riffs on titles. Moby Dick, for example, or Around the World in eighty days. Around the World in eighty days was one of the trivia questions last week from the Trivia Guys on Wednesday. I’ll see you guys tomorrow night. Trivia Guys, Best Men Trivia there if you’re like, if you live somewhere near New Jersey, look up and you want trivia guys Hire the Best Men Trivia Guys.

I don’t know how far they travel. Maybe we’ll book them at the Melbourne, Florida International Comedy Festival in twenty six. Get on that booblets, So I just actually pause there. I’m really impressed by my microphone. It is not picking up the barking dog.

Let’s driving me nuts as I’m recording here. She does not care. Then I have a podcast. I think if you boost your volume the ninety nine you might be able to hear her. But say you were in the basement talking about comedy shows in Melbourne, you would be able to hear her.

Believe me, just take my word for it. And I guess she’s not going to stop. So that’s it. You could have had a couple more Melbourne stories, but you’re not getting them now because Johnny Mack needs to go upstairs and be like, what are we barking at? The answer is going to be nothing, but I gotta go do it.

See you tomorrow.

Calaoca Shock Media. Boy. Second week of April. Already this year is flying. Hello.

I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Parental discretion advised on this episode after the commercial break, gonna talk a serious subject, right, so get rid of the kids. Let’s start with Bill Burr. Did you see this video circulating on the social media’s? Bill Burr was there at the Mark Twain Conan O’Brien thing mine in his own business more or less the most a canon on a red carpet of sorts, and a reporter asked Bill Burr a question.

I will let Bill Burr handle this himself. How about your reaction to Beligi MAGGIONI is reading up you know that perhaps you’ve been supportive of what he did. What is your take on that? If you were reading up, I don’t get you read up on it because I said what I felt about it, and I said what a lot of people he said took it that way? So could you clarify how?

No, I’m not going to just have some controversial moments you can get clicks. I’m not doing that. I mean, I’m here to call it. I’m not I’m not doing all of this. What are you gonna bring up next to the Middle East?

I went to summer school three out of four years in high school. I’m not qualified to talk about this. What are you warming? He said about Elon that he was ruining ear if I saw in the view, you’re critical of him? What do you think of all the boycotts, even the violin?

I don’t watch the news. I don’t watch the news. I have no idea what’s going on. I watch Instagram. I watch people wipe out on motorcycles.

I watch lions and hyenas fight each other. This is the things that I do. And I don’t think you should be asking a comedian. Your journal medians are on top of current events. You’re a no, no, that’s that’s weak that you guys passing the buck.

You guys need to have balls again, which you don’t. You guys always goes. Should we be thinking this? You guys present stuff like that. You guys used to have balls.

You need to get your balls back. And it’s not my job. I am a dancing clown. Wow, how do you really feel? Bill Awful Announcing was checking out the Flagrant with Andrew Schultz.

Currently Andrew and retired NFL safety and NFL analyst Ryan Clark had been going back and forth as Offlin announcing recaps it. Schultz had riffed on the idea of Megan Marko cleaning up the British royal family and described the Black Girl for An Effect as women stressing their boyfriends out and slapping them a sidebar, palace intrigue. Wherever you get your shows, we talk about the Royal Family. I’m the writer about it. Today’s episodes about Megan.

Megan’s Big podcast is out tomorrow, so tomorrow is gonna be about Meghan. Wednesday’s gonna be about Meghan. It’s gonna be a Megan kind of week. But back to Schultz. Clark had responded to the original Schultz segment on The Pivot, claiming that Schultz was racist.

Schultz sat down for an interview on The Pivot himself and acknowledged the joke didn’t land as well as it could have, but defended himself against the accusation that he is racist or the joke is racist. Andrew said the joke wasn’t funny enough for how much it hurt people and their titles over they wuldn’t feel about it. I just don’t like getting into territory of that’s how he really feels, and he’s just using it a smoke screen for he really feels.

And now what happened is I just wanted us to laugh.

Clark explained that he believes can perpetuate stereotypes and give the audience permission to harbor negative views of certain types of people. Clark explained he believes Schultz can perpetuate stereotypes and give the audience permission to harbor negative views to people that might see that, they’ll go, well, Andre Schultz made this stroke about black women and there were two black men sitting across from them. This must be true, so I can go behave like he behaves. Clark explained his intention was to use Schultz’s comments to have a discussion, not to paint Schultz in any particular way. Schultz said, I hope that people maybe learn more about me and they say that I don’t have bad intentions for people.

I make fun of everybody. I hope that they learned that. But I understand that as I get there, we’re gonna have these little things that we stumble across, and people’s feelings are gonna be hurt, and it sucks. Well. That situation I thought people would see is I’m not doing that choke in front of two white guys in a room.

I’m doing it where there are two black guys in the room as well. I thought it would communicate that there’s good faith here, there’s no real animosity or that kind of stuff. Joe List announced two projects. One the documentary Tom Dustin Portrait of a Comedian, also Joe List’s fourth special small Ball, will start with the four Tom Dustin Portrait of a Comedian will hit theaters in LA and New York City on April twenty fifth. That’ll go to nationwide May ninth.

The indie documentary is directed and produced by Joe List. It offers an intimate glimpse into his enduring friendship with fellow comedian Tom Dustin through cannon conversations on anxiety, depression, and addiction, interwoven with intimate comedic performances film Key West. The film sheds light on the highs and lows of life and stand up comedy, and the complexities of a lifelong friendship.

---

Meanwhile, small Ball, where can we see small Ball?

Theaters one night only May twenty first. That’s an aggressive play. I haven’t heard anyone do that. We’re going to go to the theater and watch Joe List comedy special in the era of Netflix, YouTube and even hilarious. You’re asking a lot there, Joe.

I root for you, but you’re asking a lot there. Day of the week is May twenty first, a Wednesday. I have volleyball. I can’t make it. Small Ball finds Joe List, tackling themes of fatherhood, friendship, and the absurdities of everyday life, shortly after the birth of his first child.

Filmed at two separate Illinois Zanies clubs over the course of back to back evenings. It is Jolis fourth Special. Liz said, I am so overwhelmed with excitement to be releasing both my film and my comedy special in theaters across America. Going to the movies has always been my favorite thing to do since I was a little kid, and I’m so proud to get to show these in a cinema. To me, there’s nothing more special than watching a movie in the dark with a strange group of people w come out.

Bell discussed his return to comedy with The Herald Times Online. Bell said, I started my return last year. I’ll tell you how quick American history moves. I think the conversation I started a set with was I think Biden might be told to be president. I think for me, the need to come back was that my wife saw me walking around the house talking to myself and laughing and was like, maybe you need to come back to comedy.

I really thought I was retired. That’s interesting. I didn’t realize that. I just thought he was off doing TV projects. I really thought I was retired.

But then I realized I sort of had the edge. And I’ve been away for five years, which is five years of personal stories to tell that I hadn’t shared with an audience. Last time I did comedy, had two kids, and now I have three. So it’s like, what’s going on in the world, What’s going on with me? How old is w come out Bell.

I’m gonna guess forty seven. Answer is fifty two born January twenty sixth, nineteen seventy three. A little early to retire. You gott at least do a podcast out of your basement. You gotta keep yourself busy, trust me, come, I says in this era, I really love watching George Carlin because it does a great job at balancing where you can do this one liner that’s amazing, and can also talk for ten minutes and not get one laugh and then get the laugh at the end.

I think there’s different ways to do comedy depending on the subject. They also asked him about Celebrity Jeopardy. Belle said, celebrities Jeopardy is always funny because people look at it and go, these are celebrities. I don’t know any of these people. Well, we’re the ones who are available.

Tom Cruise isn’t taking a call from Celebrity Jeopardy. You get come out Bell and his friends. Okay, I’m gonna do one more story, and then the second story here is going to be the one that I don’t want your kids to hear. Okay, so get rid of the kids. But first, while you’re kicking the kids out of the car, don’t kick the kids out of the car.

That’s not a good thing to do, you know what I mean. Turn it off, hit pause, go in the other room, do something, but don’t kick the kids out of the car. That’s very dangerous. Daily Comedy News officially is again kicking kids out of the car. NBC is doing a tribute to Joe Rivers It’s called Joan Rivers, a Dead Funny All Star tribute coming to NBC and Peacock in May.

Joan passed away in September twenty fourteen. The special will premiere Tuesday, May thirteenth, ten East ten West on NBC, recorded at the historic Apollo Theater in New York City, will feature comedy titans like Rachel Brosnahan. Comedy titans like Rachel Brosnahan, one of the great comedians of our I mean, come on, you can’t lead with Rachel there. I’m looking at the press release and they went in alphabetical order by last name, But you can’t have the sentence. Comedy titans like Rachel Brosnahan.

For some reason as well, I added the for some reason, an extended, uncensored version of the special premiere at May fourteenth on Peacock. It will feature more comics who will be announced later. Good Press releasing here. I’ll read it verbatim.

Given that I’m dead, I assume someone will finally decide to honor me. Well, it’s about time, Rivers wrote in a letter she left for her daughter, Melissa Rivers. That’s fun. I knew Joan. I worked with Joan.

I’ve got Jones stories. I only have good things to say about Joan, even though we clashed heads. But I’ll save those for another day. All right, you got your headphones on low. Kids are in the other room.

You hit pause, they went to sleep. They’re not around. Arguably this should have been the lead story today. But again, you know, this show’s supposed to be fun and upbeat. It’s Monday morning, so I didn’t want to wake you up with this one.

Russell Brand has been charged with rape and decent assault on sexual assault for incidents that took place between the years of nineteen ninety nine and two thousand and five. On Friday, the Metropolitan Police Service announced that the Crown Prosecution Service authorized them and to charge Russell Brand with one count of rape, one count of indecent assault, one count of oral repe and two counts of sexual assault following an investigation by detectives.

Caloroga Shark Media. Hey man, I’m Jennie Mac with your Daily Comedy News. I’m feeling good on the mic. I just recorded the Weekly Comedy Thing. That’s the weekly show I host on the Live one app.

The app is free. The show is free, and it’s like this, except I can play full comedy bits from comedians. I just recorded that, So I’m feeling pretty good and loose. Let me tell you about Sarah Silverman. She’s coming back to Netflix for her second Netflix stand up special.

This one out in May twentieth. It is called post Mortem. In Post Mortem, Sarah Silverman finds comedy in the darkest corners of life. It follows the recent death of both her parents. Sarah hilariously navigates the absurdities of death with her signature wit, from unexpectingly finding the deal of a lifetime while planning their funerals to cherishing the bittersweet experience of hearing her mother’s last words.

I don’t know if I’ll be able to watch that one. Honestly, even that sentence there, of hearing her mother’s last words, I flashed back. I happened to be in the room when my own mother passed A little over a year ago. It might be too soon for me. I’m not offended if you watch the special, but I might just choose to pass on that one, and I’ll ask Dylan in the Facebook group how it was.

We’ll say, sometimes I can power through these things. I digress. My initial reaction to this is, while I do like Sarah, same note, I’ve been giving a lot lately, I kind of feel like I know what Sarah does. Can we get some new voices? Where’s Netflix just gonna go?

You’ve heard of this person? I mean, Hulu is clearly doing Okay, you’ve heard of this person. But Netflix, what happened to Discovery? We’re not doing that anymore? Was playing the hits the algorithm like Sarah Silverman.

I guess, all right, opportunity for someone else to swoop in and be the current face of comedy. Just saying nothing against Sarah, nothing against Netflix, nothing against Hulu other than their publicists, of course, who don’t get back to people who owe comedy podcasts in their basement. They should. I bet they get back to Jason’s and his fancy New York Times business cards. Huh.

Nikki Glaser spoke to the New York Post New York Post. What are you doing here? Let me read a sentence from the New York Post. Nikki Glaser article. New York Post may be compensated and or receive an affiliate commission if you click or buy through our links.

Glazer says, Adam Sandler is always comfortable and confident. I’m jealous because he doesn’t have to do fittings ever, wear spanks, and he constantly gets to promote teams and things he likes, Whereas my assistant made me retire ninety percent of my tailor swift merchandise. I still wear my tortured poet’s earrings, ring and bracelet. Though we learn that Nikki Glaser has thirty plus pairs of jeans in her closet, but only three pairs are in heavy rotation, she can’t bear to purge any of them, Glazer explains, in order to get rid of them, you have to try them on, and I’m too scared to see what fits and what doesn’t, So I keep everything. All that’s fun and all that remember was just an excuse to have affiliate links.

We learn with an affiliate link. Nicki likes a Miko bikini seventeen. This is a podcast, so I don’t have a link for you to click. I mean I could put one of the show notes. I’m not going to.

I’m not here for the affiliate marketing. But as for the bikini, Nicki says, I found this swimsuit at the boutique of the Four Seasons Resort Lnai, as regular folks do, just saying, and then the brand wrote to me next week and offered to send it to me for free, So now I have two. I love a scoop neck line on sports bras out of touch. I’m sorry, it’s something I threw there, and swim where I wish I could find more of them. Nicky enjoys do You or a Highlighter Powder?

Seventeen and explains I could be heavy handed with makeup, so I like something that doesn’t transfer that easily. I can use it liberally when I’m applying it on the go. I know that I’m not going to look crazy for whatever podcast I’m runn laid for. If you had the print edition, well, I don’t know how this would work. In a print edition.

You would somehow click on an affiliate link in the print edition and get some so host Polarized Aviator sunglasses that would take you to a link on Amazon. And we learn from Nikki Glaser. I buy these sunglasses in bulk. And that’s only because my most stylish friends once said they were cute. She could have just been being nice or saying the opposite of what she was thinking.

But now I have one hundred pairs of Sohos polarized Aviator sunglasses. Such Sorry, I got a cold today. Niki enjoys the Sherlotte Tilbury pillow Talk Lipliner seventeen. By the way, it is not a slow news day. I’m gonna be bumping things left and right today.

I’m just having fun. The pillow Talk color is classic. It’s just a safe nude liner that I can trust to put on blindly in a car and not fear I’ll look insane. I always just use it to color in my entire lip again. Why does this article exist for the affiliate links?

Can’t you guys do some journalism like The New York Times? Jason Zenniman, He’s down, he said. The Mark Twain wars he’s doing stuff. Hulu publicists probably call him back when he asks a question. Dear Hulu, my name is Jason.

I work for the New York Times. I just want to know when your specials are coming out? Could you add me to a press re leat? I bet they ad them. I bet the you they do.

Niki Glazer likes white shoes. She says, I wear them on stage. I don’t show my toes because I have bunions and I’m not ashamed of them, but I found that people find them disturbing and I’d rather not have more pictures of my disfigured toes on Wiki feet That is very funny. Her favorite bedtime tool is the Manta Sleep sleep mask. Nikki explain, sleep masks are the most important thing in my life.

I couldn’t go to sleep with that one. This is the best I’ve found. It doesn’t push down on your cheeks and just covers your eyes, which I feel is really important in a sleep mask. One I’ve used in the past, pushed down on my cheeks and dinted my filler. Oh no, now remember the wrinkles.

Nikki likes the ordinary one hundred percent plant derived Squalen serum. Nikki says, I use this for everything day, moisturizer, night cream, lube. It’s cheap and it’s the thing I’ve reckoned the most in life to my friends. Oh there’s more, but the bit has been beaten to death. Oh my god, I’m scrolling down.

I could do this bit for three more days. I’m not going to, and you’re welcome, but I could. Her favorite listen is the Las Culturista’s podcast, which won a Big Podcast Award earlier in the week. Matt Rodgers was there to accept Bowen Yang wasn’t able to make it. I guess Chelsea Handler, who used to date Joe Koi, relax, got back it.

I just did a five minute bit. I’m not doing the bit. Relax got Chelsea Handler used to date Joe Koi wants to have lots of men all over the world. You know, ell she dated I’m learning right here from reading this. Fifty cent didn’t know she dated fifty cent?

You know, one time fifty cent hosted the Golton No he didn’t, Chelsea told Extra, I want lots of men all over the world, in different areas. I want to port in every call. I got through the time in your life when many people decide to get married have children. I look at like the twenties to forties as a tunnel. I came out of that tunnel.

I don’t have a child, and I don’t have a husband. Now I’m free and I can do whatever I want. She turned fifty in February. She celebrated turning fifty by skiing in a bathing suit and then posting a photo of herself on social media. She explained, I know I’ve skied topless.

I know I have. I just want to say that I haven’t done a topless video in years because my nephews asked me not to because they’re friends at college. Were you know seeing it? But I do? Hey, Hey, hey, bro, dude, check out Aunt Chelsea.

She’s on well she wouldn’t be on instant are Where are they seeing these photos? That’s my question? Like if I went out of my way to find a photo of Chelsea Handler skiing topless, which she apparently posted to the social medias. Where would I find it to show it to her nephews? How would that work?

I don’t know, Chelsea says, but I do wear a bikini top. I just like to scan my bathing suit and just be free to demonstrate freedom to women, what you could do and how much fun you can have when you listen to who you are. Whitney Cummings at forty, jokes about having a geriatric pregnancy. Whitney explains, they start calling it geriatric at thirty five. I’m grateful that I did it at forty years old.

If I had a kid even a year sooner, I would have sold it for Taylor Swift tickets. Whinnie had frozen her eggs at age thirty three, ended up conceiving naturally. She’s co parenting with her child’s father. They are not a couple. She explained, Let’s start co parenting from the beginning so the kid will never know anything different.

She reflected on how parenthood has affected her. She explains, once I had a child, I was like, oh, I like myself when I only think about myself like thirty minutes a day. I don’t know what’s going on with Paul Rodriguez Two stories both from TMZ. The newer one his TMZ has learned that Paul’s best friend, who was found dead inside Paul Rodriguez’s home back in November, remember that one, died from a fentanyl overdose. Separately from that, Paul was recently arrested.

As the story goes, the police pull over Paul’s car for I forgot what the phrase is, but like code violations are saying like, you know, like a tail light out or something, you know, poop and you know they pull you over. Apparently, when they pulled Paul over, Paul was in the passenger’s seat asleep, said the car was his. Somebody else was driving obviously because Paul’s in the pastor’s seat. Thanks for clearing that Optionhn, thank you, thank you. So somebody else is driving Paul’s car, Paul’s in the car, Paul’s asleep.

Anyway, the cops do their thing and found narcotics. Apparently, Paul was released with a citation to appear in court on April twenty fifth. Paul apparently is claiming that a quote Caucasian unquote officer who Paul describes as being on a quote power trip unquote, slapped Paul awake during the incident. I don’t know what’s going on. I hope everything is okay there.

Country superstar Mason Ramsey is becoming a comedian. Yeah. Mason Ramsey teamed up with The eight hundred Pound Gorilla to release his first ever stand up comedy special. The eighteen year old comedy superstar tackles topics from growing up in rural Illinois to his yodeling breakout moment in the industry, and rise to start him with his signature country sound. You can find that special on the eight hundred Pound Gorilla YouTube channel.

One of the great hoaxes of our time will continue. Bob’s Burgers has supposedly been for four more seasons. Bob’s Burgers seasons sixteen to nineteen are gonna Aaron Fox. They totally are. The fifteen season is on right now, totally is now.

Longtime listeners know what I’m gonna do here. But if you are new, all right, pay attention now you’re like, what is John all about? Okay, new listener, I’m gonna ask you two questions. Okay, I’m gonna ask you two questions very serious here. One have you ever seen Bob’s Burgers?

Yeah? Have it? Ye? Have it. I know you’ve seen artwork.

I know you’ve watched a football game and, like Joe Bucker, somebody’s like coming up after the game Bob’s Burgers. I’ve seen the promos. I get it. I’ve seen the artwork. I’ve seen people talk about the show.

But my question to you is, have you ever actually seen the thing? No, this hoax. There’s even cover art on like Hulu or something. I could reach out to the Hulu publicists and be like, is Bob’s Burger is real? But they’re not gonna get back to me anyway, So that’s part of the hoax.

Maybe there aren’t even Hulu publicists. Look at the people supposedly on this show. Kristin Shawl, she won the Andy Cow Award. It’s a prank. People, you’ve never seen Bob’s Burgers.

I get it. Joe Box says it’s gonna come on after football. Nobody watches Fox on Sunday night. We all switch over to the other football game. That’s my first question, have you ever seen Bobs Burgers?

The answer is you have it. My second question for you, and this one really proves the point. Have you ever met anyone who has seen Bob’s Burgers. Has anybody ever walked up to you and be like, hey, just see Bob’s Burger’s on Sidney. You haven’t because the show doesn’t exist.

This is a prank and the Fox people are having fun with it, going yeah, we were neweded for four more years now they could sell merch. This clearly Bob’s Burger’s merch. Maybe Hulu doesn’t even check. Maybe like they’re like, oh, yeah, this is a show and Hulu just loads blank files. Probably nobody checks anything over it.

Hulu. I would ask the public says, hey, when you guys get a show, does anybody actually make sure it’s actually a show? But they you know, nobody gets back to me, so I don’t know. At the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, which is in Australia, don’t go heading off to the Melbourne, Florida International Comedy Festival because booblets and I haven’t put that together yet. That’ll be next year.

Remember Raygun, the breakdancer from the Olympics that some people made fun of, So somebody wanted to do a comedy show about Reygun, and then the Raygun people were like no, no, no, no, no no. So Stephanie Broadbridge’s new show is called Breaking the Musical and it’s totally not about Reygun. I don’t know why you think it’s about Raygun. It is not. The Age tells us that Rachel Gunn aka Raygun was not in the house on Tuesday for the first of three shows of Stephanie Broadbridge’s legally challenged musical, and her name wasn’t even mentioned, but she was kind of there in the vibe in this entertaining, messy, incisive, sympathetic, critical, and occasionally hilarious production that the audience rewarded with a partial standing ovation.

Great writing there by the Age, there was a disclaimer. All characters in the show are fictional, even the ones that seem like they are not. The ones that seem like they are someone really specific and you’re pretty sure they’re based on someone real.

Also, their name sounds heaps like the person’s name that you thought it was …

Everything is pretend. Great disclaimer. We then get the tale of a young woman thirty six years old from the outer Sydney suburb of Hornsby who goes on to represent Australia at the Olympics. That person is known as spray Gun. Spray Gun gets mocked for her signature kangaroo dance moves.

Spray Gun’s real name is Sprachel. I love this. This is so much food. Sprachel appears to have no aptitude for breakdancing, despite having a PhD in breakdancing, but her husband does, and he lures her away from ballroom dancing to the street sport, and somehow she manages to reach the top and then the bottom. This is a fully fledged musical with a three piece band on stage and a cast of twelve.

They have some sound issues. This is horrible and this is not a bit. Five minutes in, the narrator asked the audience directly if they could hear. The audience said no, and the audience suggested they start the whole thing over. They started the whole show over.

That’s awful, and the ah says that’s a huge shame because the writing is sharp and the world and lyrics deserve to be heard. Maybe somebody at Netflix should film spray Gun. I would watch that and it would at least be different, or maybe Hulu, but you know, then again, I wouldn’t have any information about it. Would just kind of come on, because who pubbas don’t get back to me. Okay, I’m silly today.

I’m leaving. I’ve made enough people mad. Bye,

Caloroga Shark Media, Heidley Ho Johnny Mack with Your Daily Comedy News. Nate Forgatzy said, when I was younger, someone said you always reminded me of Bob Newhart, and I thought about that and like, I can totally see it delivery wise, the low keenness of it all. Nate said, they meant not a lot of energy, not a big presence. But I was a fan of Bob Newhart. I loved his albums in sitcom, so I like that.

I was way more deadband at the beginning, and I didn’t move around a lot. I never moved. Being from the South and having this accent and talking slower, I always sounded pretty different, especially when I was in New York. So I learned how to write jokes first, and I feel like I’m getting more in my voice now. I’m still not convinced Nate is the greatest actor.

But if you told me the new Heart sitcom where Bob owned the inn, if you for some reason remade that and you had Nate as the straight man in that, I could totally see him crushing in that. Kelsey Cook told Fox News Digital. I think the thing that probably helped comedy explode. The most was the pandemic. You know, everybody was inside on their phones, watching TV, watching their phone, and that became a time for comics to make as much content as you could because there was such a demand for it.

I think you saw people finding their new favorite comics over the pandemic.

And then once things open back up and people could start touring again, peopl…

I’ve been cooped up inside forever long. Now I want to go out and do stuff. And I think a lot of us saw a big touring boom, especially once people could go out and kind of resume normal life again. Yeah, there was Initially it was hard to get an arena because everybody was booking dates and everybody was out, so some big comedians had to play smaller rooms. I think now a few years later, we’re seeing it cool off a little bit.

Tom Papa has talked about that on his podcast, and Jim Gaffigan didn’t agree with him. We’ll see. I think comedy is hot now, but maybe we’re starting to step down from everybody playing huge places. Russell Peters talked to the LA Daily News about social media elevating comedians at a rapid piece. This one comes up a lot, Russell said, it’s a double It’s great for the kids that get to be seen sooner than they normally would have.

The bad part is they’re not really getting to put the time in, so they don’t have the chops they need when it happens. There’s definitely an incubation period that needs to happen. Think of comedy like a baby. Each year is a month in baby years, and in about the nine to ten year mark, you should be comfortable with who you are and what you’re doing and have a much more stable way of navigating through this game. When these kids come in after a year or two because they’ve been successful because of popular clips on TikTok and Instagram, congrats, but that’s not sustainable.

The News said you were one of the first comedians to go viral on YouTube early in the platforms start. This must be a young ling who asked this question. I saw a lot of comedians there for the first time, including George Carlin. I know you met him and worked well them. What was that like?

Russell said, he was my everything. I met him in ninety two and I’ve only done stand up three years. At this time. At the end of the meeting, I said, hey, George, maybe we’ll work together, and he said, you never know a kid, it’s crazy business. And there we were working together ten months before he passed away.

Was a great way to book end that story. He was extremely nice and so gracious with his time. He gave me some real good advice. He could have pulled rank or done anything he wanted to, but he didn’t. From when I hear from everybody else who met him knew him, he was always that guy.

That’s probably why he stayed in stand up and avoided the Hollywood we’re at race to. People who were always survive in the long run are the ones that keep it real. George was able to cut through the bs. He was always on the side of John Q every man. That’s something that politicians can’t do because they may try to make it sound like they’re there for the people, but really they’re there for themselves.

George was definitely not. He was literally there for us. He was our voice. Chappelle is great at doing a similar thing, but Chappelle is also skewed. You know which side he’s on.

George is definitely anti establishment. NPR and talked to Ronny Chieng about death and how his feelings about death have changed over time. Ronnie said, Oh, yeah, it’s become more real. It used to be this kind of conceptual, abstract, right, and then it’s become very real the last couple of years seeing it up close it becoming more real was kind of frightening. I was studying Buddhism recently, and there was this very interesting concept that I’m going to butcher because I’m gonna give you the ciff Notes version of it in like five seconds.

But the idea was something like, we’re a different person in every moment anyway. Our thoughts are different, our cellular makeup is different in every second moment, meaning we’re different people in every second of every moment anyway. So the concept of me doesn’t really exist because I’m constantly changing anyway, and so when I die, it doesn’t matter because I never really existed. That’s kind of like the Buddhist dancer, one of the Buddhist dancers to that. In Sebastian Man of Scalgoes reason special is at me.

He wore a tucks. The Minneapolis Star Tribune asked Sebastian what happened to the day is when standard comics dressed up. Sebastian said, I grew up in the eighties looking at the showmanship of it all, Eddie Murphy with that full leather suit or Prince. Today, the guy on stage could be a guy in the crowd. He can’t distinguish the two.

I try to pay homage to the rat pack in the sixties. He didn’t see a guy gambling in Vegas wearing flip flops in a swimsuit. You dressed up, and I hope that comes back. Sebastian talked about the physicality of his act. I’m very conscious of the way I’m moving proud across the stage.

People today have no attention span, so you have to be active out there. I need room to run around. Clubs are the best place to do comedy. But when I do that, I often look at the stage and think, geez, that’s all the space they’re giving me. I’ve always expressed myself through body language.

Even as a kid at the dinner table, I’d stand up to ask someone to pass me in the mash potatoes. I don’t see a lot of other commit using their body this way. Brian Reagan does, but I think other comics want to look cool, cool us to go out the window. We’re not musicians. Philippea Sparza talked about life on the road and said, it’s a young comic.

You’re like a baby out in this world, you know. But it’s different from being a singer, actor or a Broadway performer. When you perform as a comedian in a small town, you’re usually there for five days, two or three hundred people see you every night, so you’re pretty famous in that town. For that week. Everything’s new and exciting.

I remember being on the road in al Paso and Paul Rodriguez was headlining somewhere nearby. He was doing a corporate gig or something like that where he was making hundreds of thousands of dollars, and we’re performing at a regular club where they’re paying us chicos tacos. Paul Rodriguez kidnapped us. Bro He kidnapped us and took us to Jures. He didn’t even ask if we had passports to grab.

One random guy said a man, you want to go to Juarez and nev tacos. The guy said, are you Paul Rodriguez? Oh yeah, let’s all go. So Paul Rodriguez made me and the other comedians go in a van. He had picked up two girls and he took those two girls and us to Juarez def Tagos.

When we got to the border, though, there were already too many people in the van and nobody had luggage, and of course we’re only there for about an hour and a half. The border patrol us over and they were searching us and stuff, and they were just busting our chops. They wanted autographs and photos. And there’s a picture of us, you can look it up. It’s Palward, Vegus, Gabriel I Glacias, Armando Cossios and me in front of the border with our hands on the hood.

I remember when we made it back and he was changing his clothes. Gaby Glacias and I were still in the room. He never told us to get out, so he finally closed the door on us. Our friend was standing outside waiting for us and said, bro, I thought you guys were going to go with the shower with a pall. Riser described his act to the oc registered and said, let’s just say on the opposite of circ dosilat, no jumping, no acrobatics, no singing or dancing, nothing out of the ordinary, just straight up comedy.

I do nothing out of the ordinary. People have seen comedians before. I have a good filter system. I sorted out what makes me laugh in private and what I want to share. And I’ve always avoided politics or social commentary.

It’s not the way my brain works. Some are good at poking sticks and the sacred cows. That’s not my personality. I’m not smart enough to make things up. I tell people what happens in my house stuff that happens at everyone else’s house.

We look at people as friends. People enjoy knowing they’re not alone. I talk about my life, my marriage. It’s all very cathartic. I tell people about an argument with my wife.

I convent and hope the audience my side. How does he dress on stage? I dress on stage the way I dress in life. Jean’s rolled up at the hem, he says. I like to cut out as many decisions as possible.

Paul, you’re going to retire. Sometimes I’m tempted to stay home and take it easy, but I do stand up every other weekend, and it invigorates me. Really, I’ve been very lucky. It’s true what they say. I work for free.

And only get paid for the trip to the airport. And Bob Odenkirk in Glengarry Glenn ross Odinkirk told Playbill, I’ve wanted to do this play for years. I wrote to David Mammot twenty years ago and I said I have two requests. One can we do an all comedy version. Two can we change it from land at they’re selling the pots and pans.

I never got a response. He’s very excited. He said, I can’t effing wait, and then smiled and said, feel free to use the word f in Playbill. It’s certainly in the effing play. Andy Haynes was down in New Orleans.

He had been there before and said that time it was from Mark Norman’s wedding. He rented out Tippettinas. It was all comics who were guess at the wedding, so everybody was there. Haines also spent a year in England with a weird job. He had created an animated show The Champions for the sports platform bleacher Report.

The show was based on the teams and players in the European Champions League. When a bunch of crypto investors bought a British soccer club, they wanted a comedian to generate online content for it. Haines got the gig, but he explains they hired me to be their in house comedian. I made content for them, but the team was so bad and the fans hated the owners. Everything I made never got released.

His Instagram, Brio says he’s a libtart, but says that’s a misunderstood joke. For the longest time it said Patriot as a joke, and people were like, you guy, call yourself a Patriot, so I changed it. I’m from Seattle. The second he leave Seattle, it’s the wilderness. Most of Washington is rural, conservative, gun and all that cowboy stuff.

In Seattle, I had a rowdy adolescence, would go to the woods and shoot stuff. We shot up a porta potty. There was a husk of a burnt out van that we used to go shoot. He left Seattle for la and staid being unemployed in La is how cults start. Everyone’s looking for spiritual guidance to get their next audition.

I was gonnahit, pause on everything and go back to Seattle. I went to New York on a whim and had an amazing experience. He’s got a podcast with Mike Cannon called Beautiful Boys Chevyhardcore dot Com You’re home for comedy News. They talked about Kevin Hart’s nineteen sixty six Chevy Chevelle and said it’s no joke. Chevy Hardcore tells us whether it’s his nineteen fifty nine corvetteor is nineteen eighty seven Buick Grand National.

Kevin Art seems to find the coolest cars and some of the finest builders to shape them to his automotive desires. Kevin sixty six Chevelle started as an original SS three ninety six car. Work on the car, dubbed Darkness with two capitals’s at the end, was completed by Timeless Customs. What they created was a true work of restomad art, built upon an Art Morson chassis. The work involved keeping the car relatively simple, but in the best kind of way.

Emblems were exchanged for Darkness in the same type face as the original Chevelle, but the menacing side of Darkness comes under the hood. The classic three ninety six was replaced with an LSx four five four topped with an LS nine blower. Can you tell I have no idea what I’m talking about that’s right. With seven pounds of boost, the car makes six to twenty horsepower the wheels, but it’s capable much more. However, the Ideata was keep the car drive and comfortable, makes plenty of power for cruising the boulevard or the highway.

The four Lady transmission adds to the driftability. The engine bay of the Chavelle is as clean as they come, with fabrication from Timeless that truly highlights the power plant. And that is your comedy news for today. See you tomorrow.

Caloroga Shark Media. Hey there, I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. After last weekend and all the talk of Hebburg. If you’re like, you know, I gotta like that style of comedy, check out Chang Wang. He recently spoke to review wm dot com and he talked about how he spends time on the road connecting with nature.

He told Review, I enjoy the infinite diversity and beauty of plants. I find that to be very relaxing and inspiring and grounding. It brings me to the present, want to just stop and lean in and look at the details on a flower or a leaf. The review rights a mix of universal observational humor and ultra laid back slacker charm. He gets compared to Mitch Hedburg.

Wang said, my kind of humor, my approach to life, and my approach to my stand up. Essentially, it’s kindness and joy. So that means being present, paying attention to finding all the little joys that are everywhere. I mean, there’s disasters, it’s chaos right now, especially in the news and everything. It’s just crazy out there.

But there’s so much good and beauty and joy that we just overlook because it’s everywhere, and it’s so small, we’re too immersed in it to see it. Sometimes. He’s one of those guys that you know, you’ve never heard of, that’s been grinding it out for twenty years already. I hope he pops his career did step up in class when he had his Netflix special in twenty two. That one’s called Sweet and Juicy.

Watch it, it’s funny, Wang said. I’m more of a people pleaser. I’m not a big trash talker. I don’t like punching, especially punching down. I prefer sharing things that might bring a little delight rather than aggression and violence and conflict.

I’d rather delight people. I feel like I had a really chill upbringing, But I think there’s something about being an immigrant or being an other in your youth. You pay attention to what’s the vibe in the room. Whenever we go out somewhere, you pay attention to who’s looking at whom, what’s the energy. I felt like immigrant kids they just have a superpower to have that sensitivity and that awareness.

But it’s also a bit of a rougher way to grow up to be constantly considering these things. To get back to the plants. Wang says, I think eventually there’ll be some sort of possible creative convergence between my jokes and my performances and my love for plants. Give them a cable show. Jeopardy fans, they’re all in a ker fluffel.

You see today on Jeopardy. Comedian Guy Brainam will be competing on Jeopardy against Mike Dawson for Portland. Reddit users noticed Guy’s name and face on the Jeopardy website. One redditaur said, check in the lineup for this week’s contestant. I was a bit surprising the name Guy Brainum.

At first thought, maybe it’s a coincidence, maybe there’s two Guy Branham’s, but nope, seems to be the same guy. Since it lists writer and comedian as his occupation. Some wondered why is he on Jeopardy and not celebrity Jeopardy. One theory he must be smart enough to get on normal Jeopardy. Paullie Shore is opening a comedy club, which is interesting because Polly is the son of the legendary Mitzi Shore, known for operating the comedy club in Los Angeles.

So is Polly opening one in La Nope, Texas, Austin, Texas, Sean Nope, San Antonio. Shane Quaid is Polly’s business partner, and they’ve been transforming the Woodlawn Theater into a comedy venue. They hope to produce at least two hundred and four shows each year, so let’s see fifty two weeks in eight years. That’s four shows a week, more or less. Most will be stand up, but they also envisioned doing occasional concerts as well as movie premiers.

Tonight is the soft opening San Antonio. Comedians will be featured at eight o’clock. The first five hundred tickets each night are free. After that, tickets are ten dollars eighty three cents. Random number guessing when you have the tax that comes out to like an even number, like twelve or something.

So that’s the soft opening. Tonight. On April twelfth, it’s the grand opening. Your headliner Paully Sure, He’ll do shows at seven and ten. Those tickets go from thirty two forty eight to sixty three eighty seven.

Then on May third, Tom Cotter and Carrie Louise will do shows at seven and ten. Their shows cost twenty one sixty five to fifty three oh four random numbers. The Woodland, opened in nineteen forty five, is a movie house and was the site of the world premiere of the movie The Alamo starring John Wayne That happened in nineteen six. They ripped out the seating and put some custom made leather seats. That’s not gonna go well, those are gonna get torn up.

What are you doing. That’s a mistake, Quait said. We want people to be able to sit here for three hours because the other theaters we’ve been to you just don’t want to. You say that now that first tear in a leather seat’s gonna kill you. You can’t have drunk people watching comedy shows on the leather.

That’s not a good idea. I’m sorry. They’ve betted space between the rows to make it a little easier for patrons to slide past one another. You are Elcos will be posted on the back of each seat, allowing folks to order drinks from the bar and have them delivered by servers without having to stand in line. That’s neat.

A forty five panel led wall will be installed at the back of the stage, meaning comics can have any kind of background they want Mary Picaorisi is hosting the soft opening and says everyone talks about Austin and Austin is fantastic. Don’t get me wrong, but I think people are sleeping on San Antonio prepping the show. I stumbled across this one. I’ve never seen a note like this. I just thought it was interesting.

Ali Wong is coming to Portland. You were a show at Helium being advertised as a workout. The show’s called work in Progress. Ali will return to her stand up roots to workshop raw and unfilled her new material in an intimate club setting. Ali will also do work in progress sets in La and San Jose.

The Helium shows are May twenty eighth and twenty ninth. One hundred and thirty one dollars for reserve seats, one hundred and six for general admission for a workout, plus eleven dollars for the service charge. You could take your service charge and uh was the helphrase stick it up your nose with a rubber hose. That’s what you could do with your eleven dollars service charge. So one hundred and seventeen dollars for a workout?

Are you kidding me? No? Absolutely not. Get out of here. With that, I can go see Pauli Shore for thirty two dollars and forty eight cents and Pauli will be doing as a material.

And they have leather seats. What do you have Helium? Anybody know what kind of seats they have at Helium? Let me look at a picture. Looks to me like Helium Comedy Club has shares, wooden shares.

You don’t want to sit in those for three hours. Put in some leather seats if you get to charge you one hundred and seventeen dollars. What are you doing?

Also, the May twenty ninth show is at four forty five pm on a Thursday.

What are We doing? Stephen Rodgers has announced his new stand up special. Half of We will premiere on Nate Bergatzy’s Nate Land YouTube channel on April eleventh. The specials produced by Nate and Brian Reagan. The new hour has Stephen Rodgers blending wit and vulnerability as he shares his relatable mishaps, personal struggles, and stories from his engagement all building.

No, there’s a spoiler here, I’m not no, no, no spoiler. Watch it erase that from your brain. He stares stories from his engagement. You just sit there. Why I’m not gonna tell you.

Come on, what kind of article is this? I could edit that out, but as you can tell him, silly. Today Hattiesburg wants to be the city of one hundred murals. So if you want to be the city of one hundred murals, you gotta have some murals. So they put up mural number sixty two honoring Fred Armisen.

Why wouldn’t you. Luckily Fred happened to be in town on his comedy tour when this miro went up. That really worked out. Fred said, to see myself as a musician. He’s doing that drum thing highlighted on this wall next to the other artist.

Is an honor, of course, it’s a double honor that I was born here. Hattiesburg is a constert miner in my life. I am proud and honored to be from here. Let’s stop off on gossip corner. Louis c.

K selling some real estate. He apparently has sold his three bedroom, three bathroom apartment in a four story walk up in Greenwich Village, New York City. Gimme Shelter says it was sold for two point three six million dollars. It first hit the market last May at two point four to five million. So somebody got a nice little deal there from Louis c.

K. Three bedroom, three baths, three level apartment inside a four story, ten unit walk up at three forty five West Fourth Street. Now can this be right? He bought the co op with his then wife in two thousand and six for two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, according to property records, two hundred and fifty thousand, and he sold it for two point three six million. Nice job, Louis c.

K. We’re told the home opens to a large living room on the parlor floor that leads to a small L shaped kitchen with a vintageile that could used for prepp and storage, as well as a breakfast bar. Another large room with three windows and a fireplace can serve as a dining room, and additional bedroom stairs rise to a second floor bedroom with another fireplace and views of historic Jackson Square Park. I’m from New York City. I don’t think I’ve ever heard the phrase Jackson Square Park, and I would dare you to send letters, but again, I grew up there.

I don’t know what this is. It might be historic, but it ain’t famous. Let me look this up. Bordered by Eighth Avenue on the west, Horatio Street on the south, and Greenwich Avenue on the east. The park interrupts West thirteenth Street.

I mean it’s nice looking at all, but not the most famous park. And for those of you not from the York City, when I’m saying park, you’re picturing like big giant thing. This would be the size of a roundabout in your town. Okay, I digress. There’s a third bedroom at street level that’s accessed by a spiral staircase from the parlor floor, and that has its own private entrance, and it could be used as a home office.

So you wanted to get away from everybody and work on your stand up comedy. C K apparently loves buying and selling things. In December of twenty two, he sold a fourteen hundred and fifty square foot co op on twelve Street for one point eight million after buying it for two point four to five million. Oh took a big loss there, leiy, what are you doing there? He also sold his five bedroom home at thirty five Charlton Street for five point eight million.

That’s less than the six point five million he paid, so what’s going on? He was really terrible at real estate until very recently. Who knows. Let’s see what’s happening at that Nashville Comedy Festival. Uh oh, people gonna be really upset.

Bridge done Arena to night seven o’clock, Kill Tony, destroying comedy. But they’re hilarious jokes. Ooh. The man is fear is getting up and doing one minute jokes by amateurs and then Tony and the gang slam them and we all have a good time. Stop doing that, Tony, what are you doing?

You’re destroying comedy. It’s fun show, folks. Check it out over at Zanies at seven viered Oz Kurt Metzger. He’s been known to be in a controversy or two. He’s at the Lab at Zani’s at seven Veer again at nine fifteen at Maine Zanies Kurt again at the Lab at nine fifteen.

If you’re in Nashville tonight, go see Kill Tony and uh if you can hustle over to Viera, do that. The Melbourne International Comedy Festival has been rocking and rolling of it had a chance to tell you about it. Luckily, the Age has seen a bunch of shows let’s see what they’re into. Broden Kelly, you know him from Anti Donna. He’s playing Bear Deluxe until April twentieth, The Age tells us Broden Kelly is officially a cult figure.

In this wildly unhinged but completely focused hour. He starts by presenting us with three different Facebook groups where fans those pictures that may or may not look like the Anti Donna star. Oh, that’s like. One of my favorite Facebook groups is people that vaguely look like Adam Sandler. I love that one.

I can’t get enough of that one. The Age says. Kelly definitely holds our attention through the use of a four part structure. He knows when it hit us with an obnoxious banger, and presents some jokes as facts. One line, apparently he told Funnier than I will.

I found out during the research for this show that this is the worst song ever made. Five stars. They gave it all right, Freddy Billa Moria. Freddy’s show is called Allow Me to Interrupt Your Doom Scroll and you’ll find Freddy at the Theory Bar until April sixth. Uh, let me check you, caunty here.

What’s today? Today’s the fifth but Melbourne’s out of us, so it might be the sixth in Melbourne. By the time you’re hearing this, get move and everybody the age tells us his newest show. Allow me to interrupt your doom. Scroll runs the gamut of topics.

Dogs hitting a high school, reunions, dating, go into the library while it all sounds runn of the mill. Billa Maria injects each scenario with a layer of unpredictability. One of the topics spoilers. Don’t act like you were getting on a plane going to Melbourne. Don’t get mad at me, and I’m spoiling the show you weren’t going.

Where does one milk a scorpion? Four stars? And let’s do one more. Julian Cosgriff is at the Art Center Melbourne doing her show Fresh New Worries. She’ll be there until April twentieth.

See if you’ve got some time, book a flight. I watch your flights to Melbourne. Let’s look, I’m in a silly mood today. In case you can’t tell, I’m gonna go on kayak. We’ll fly out of La all right, you guys get to La on your own and let’s fly out on Friday.

The eighteenth because it takes a minute to get to Melbourne. We’ll fly economy. I assume you’re between eighteen and sixty four. Let’s see what we got here. You want to fly direct, right, I’m not stopping over a NonStop?

Are there no non stops from LA to melbourn Oh? I picked Melbourne, Florida wrong, Melbourne, leave it in. I was gonna say, because I’ve flown from LA to Melbourne, Australia. Wait, have I not been clear? Are some of you heading to Melbourne, Florida going?

I heard there was a big comedy festival here. No, no, no, no, no no, this is the one in Australia. Don’t add to Melbourne, Florida. There. As far as I know, there is not a Melbourne Florida International Comedy Festival.

They word international was your clue. We should start one now right, We should start dan booblets out there. You know how to do festivals. Let’s start a Melbourne comedy festival at the exact same time. But we’ll do it in Melbourne, Florida, and maybe we can get some guys.

Kayak’s telling me, no flight’s found. I think this bit is over. Move on, John, Okay, let’s go see Jillian Cosgriff. Even though there’s no way to get to Melbourne, apparently from Los Angeles. She’s there until April twentieth.

The age tells us Jillian has already won this festival’s top awards. Upon entry to the show, you’re invited to contribute to her Pindora’s box of concerns. At irregular intervals, she serves up those anonymous problems back at the audience. The clever hook is how common our most private fears really are. Four Stars booblets, get on this Melbourne, Florida International Comedy Festival.

Let’s do it all right, see you tomorrow.

Caloroga Shark Media been Aaron Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News and back off the road. I’ll talk about that in the second half. But some stuff I didn’t get to talk about that I want to talk about. You probably saw the White House Correspondence Dinner canceled Amber Ruffin’s appearance. So strange, So this year the White House Correspondents Dinner will not have a featured comedian.

In a statement email to its members on Saturday, the president of the WHCA said his organization’s board unanimously decided to go without a comedian. This after Amber Ruffin had been invited to host and was preparing. Eugene Daniels said, at this consequential moment for journalism, I want to ensure the focus is not on the politics of division, but entirely on awarding our colleagues for their outstanding work and providing scholarship and mentorship to the next generation of journalists. Time out, dude. We’ve been making fun of whoever is in the White House for years.

Previous comedians who have hosted included Trevornoa, Roywood Junior, and Colin Jost. To be fair, the host in twenty nineteen was historian Ron Cherno, not a comedian. The White House Dinner’s been going on since nineteen twenty one. US presidents usually attend. A recent president has chosen not to.

The WHCA manages the Presidential pool, that’s the group of journalists who regularly cover the president. So this to me looks like the WHCA doesn’t want to make a certain someone angry and they’re so they’re not having a comedian up. Oh boy, what is going on everybody? Amber Ruffin went on Late Night with Seth Meyers. Seth set up an unrelated joke about a man who robbed a bodega.

Ruffin interrupts and skull set saying, making a joke about the burglar could be divisive. Take it from me. If there’s one thing I learned from this weekend, it’s you have to be fair to both sides. Myers pushes back, telling Ruffin, when people are objectively terrible, we should be able to point it out on television. She shoots back, I thought that too on Friday, but today is Monday, and Monday’s Amber Ruffin knows that when bad people do bad things, you have to treat them fairly and respectfully.

Ruffin joke that we have a free press so that we could be nice to Republicans at fancy dinners. I thought, when people take away your rights, erase your history, and to port your friends, you’re supposed to call it out. But I was wrong. Glad to find that out now, because if they let me give that speech, oh baby, I wo had been so terrifically mean. White House Deputy Chief of Staff Taylor buda Witch had previously condemned Ruffin’s planned appearance.

The Deputy chief posted a clip on Twitter of Amber discussing the event. In a video, Ruffin had said she was told to be equal and make jokes about both sides, but she said there was no way she would do so. Buddawitch asked what kind of responsible, sensible journalist would attend something like this? More importantly, what kind of company would sponsor such hate filled and violence inspiring events. You may recall some people think this all gets back to Barack Obama appearing at the WHCA dinner and making a joke about out civilian Donald Trump.

I don’t know who to tell you send your letters to. I guess you’re sending them to me. I’m just telling you what’s going on. I personally believe in making fun of all sides, all right, SNL. I didn’t get to talk about this either.

You may have seen the clip of Morgan Wallen walking off after The Good Nights, which it’s just weird to me. It’s not like The Good Knights are ten minutes long, and you know, Morgan had performed his final song, so if he had to like pee or something, he probably had time to go to the bathroom. So I don’t know what was going on there, But can’t you just stand there and wave for seventy five seconds like everyone else has done for fifty years. Keenan Thompson has spoken out about this. Keenan told Entertainment Weekly, I don’t know what goes through people’s minds when they decide to do stuff like that.

I don’t know if he understood assignment or not, or if he was really feeling a certain kind of way. It’s definitely a spike in the norm. We’re so used to everybody just turning around and high fiving us. Everybody’s saying good job, good job. So when there’s a departure from that, it’s like, hmm, I wonder what that’s about.

Morgan Wallin had posted on Instagram heading back to God’s Country. Keenan said, the God’s Country of it all strange because it’s like, what are you trying to say. You’re trying to say, we’re not in God’s country, We’re not all in God’s country, We’re not all under God’s umbrella. That’s not necessarily my favorite, but whatever, moving on. You may recall back in twenty twenty, Morgan Wallen was supposed to host SNL.

There was this pandemic Did you hear about that? In the news. It had emerged that Morgan Wallen had broken the COVID guidelines, so he was rescheduled. In twenty twenty one, Morgan Wallen issued an apology after he was caught on camera using a racist slur to a friend after a night out. The Hollywood Reporter said Morgan Wallen was asked to perform in a sketch, the sketch Big Dumb Line.

We also learned that Morgan walked off during the dress rehearsal. A source tell’s The Hollywood Reporter that Wallin can be seen on stage starting the goodbyes, but after a quick cutaway, he’s gone. A sources at the time, no one thought much of it. Wallin’s team was very nice throughout the entire week. As for the sketch, Joe Jonas popped up on SNL to sing the Bridge on Big Dumb Line, a pre taped musical number about waiting in long New York City lines for viral Foods.

Waan was asked to do the part, and a source says he wasn’t available. Walland’s upcoming album, by the way, is titled I’m the Problem. Late Night of Reports the March twenty ninth episode drew an average of four point two million and change viewers ages two plus, the show’s lowest number in that measurement since December, when Chris Rock hosted. In the eighteen to forty nine demo, six hundred and ninety two thousand viewers, a new low for the show going back to nineteen ninety one, which is as far back as the numbers go. That’s down seven point seven percent from the LATEA Gaga episode and fourteen point one nine percent in the demo.

Industry watchers think this weekend we’ll do better host Jack Black, musical guest Elton John and Brandy Carlyle also Late Night of Reporting than in Iowa, Doctor is suing John Oliver for defamation. Last April, Oliver did a story about medicaid. Oliver then played audio from a doctor taken from a testimony from a hearing in twenty seventeen. In that testimony, the doctor apparently says people have bowel movements every day where they don’t completely clean themselves, and we don’t fuss over them. People allowed to be dirty, you know, not allow to be dirty for a couple of days.

Oliver reacts, when I first heard that, I thought that has to be taken out of context, so we got the full hearing. He said it, he meant it, and it made me want to punch a hole in the wall. Oliver then said, f that doctor with a rusty canoe. I hope he gets tetanus of the I’ll clean it up testicles. The doctor says the comments were taken out of context.

In Happier News, Shane gillis, Well, that’s going to annoy some people too, right, Like there’s just some people that you say the words Shane Gillison. It’s like if you said the words Joe and Rogan in the same sentence, people lose their mind. Or the new thing is complaining that kil Tony is going to exist on Netflix. People are ready I write about it. They probably don’t even know what the show is.

I’ve just seen people complaining about the cover art. Shane Gillis Tires season two June fifth, on Netflix. Tire Season one is very Funny. The official synopsis of Tires is, Will, the nervous and unqualified air to an auto repair chain, attempts to turn his father’s business around despite constant torture from his cousin and employee. Shane very funny show.

Netflix has announced a Tim Dillon special. This one will be April fifteenth, that’s just two weeks away. It is called I’m Your Mother. We’re told I’m Your Mother is a no holds bared on, apologetic ride through today’s chaos. Tim Dillon will tackle everything from his odd loyalty to the British royal family to roasting the world’s absurdities and more with no filter.

Filmed at the Comedy Mothership in Austin, Texas. Hopefully somebody miked it correctly this time. The audio on Tim Dillon’s first stand up special on Netflix was I don’t want to use the word horrific, but it was not great and Speaking of kill Tony, I get these like ticket alerts some on some mailing list that I don’t know how I got on, but I was like, oh, what’s this. Apparently kill Tony’s playing Madison Square Garden Saturday, August sixteenth. This pre sale today at ten am.

If you’re interested, use code at k T two and I bet you that winds up being two shows, just like last time, and we’ll see what happens there. But yeah, I was on threads and people are just complaining about the cover art for kill Tony. Relax, everybody, it’s a comedy show. Watch it or don’t.

Speaking of Netflix, I had told you in the April one episode, and I was not k…

I don’t see it. What’s going on? Your show’s bogus? You’re doing fake news? Was that in April fool’s joke that wasn’t funny?

No, here’s what happened. According to Variety, Netflix was set to release a licensed stand up special from Nimesh Patel on April first, that’s titled Instant Karma, but they decided, now, let’s not do that, and Netflix is going to produce a brand new hour to be tapped later this year. Patel said in a statement, my special that I self produced is being postponed, but in bigger and better news, Netflix is producing a brand new original special that I’ll be filming later this year. More soon, Patel will release some of the Insta Karma material on you tube. Weird, very very strange.

More stuff to catch up on. I don’t know if you know. John Mlanie’s got a late night talk show that with no buzz on it. Well. Last week, lew and l was getting friendly with Pete Davidson, and she apologized.

She told people, I admit I was tickling Pete’s leg during a segment of Everybody’s Live with John m’laney. However, I did not mean to make Pete uncomfortable. I sincerely apologize it was all done in jest. She hopes Pete Davidson will forgive her, and added, I’m still willing to go out on a date with him if he chooses, and I promise I won’t touch him again unless he wants me to. I am back.

I was out at a podcast convention in Chicago, which led me to taping a couple episodes this week, which is why I didn’t talk about everything that I talked about in the first half, so it’s nice to catch up. Heading forward, I have zero travel on my calendar for the first time I can remember now. I’m sure I will travel at some points during the year, especially one of my kids goes to school in a different city, so I’m sure at some point I will travel, but right now, no plans to go anywhere, so hopefully no pre tapes for a while. You know, I like being quote unquote live with you guys. I’m sure you enjoy the quote unquote live shows better than a pre tape.

I do my best try and make them topical to the day, but also from a work standpoint, I’ve had a bunch of big trips since October, and you know, you go to Ireland for a week, you got to tape an extra week’s worth of shows, and it’s like a lot of work to get this done. I know, poor me, nobody’s making me do this home. Poor John had to go to Ireland. I got it, I got it. But I’m just sharing.

I’m excited that I don’t have to do that and could just like do the podcast in the normal way, so I’m actually happy to not be traveling out At the podcast awards, the Ambies, they’re called Best Comedy Podcast. Went to Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and bone Yang. I did not attend the ceremony. I went out to dinner. Bone Yang did not attend the ceremony either, but Matt Rodgers did.

Tig Nataro was your host. I did not see Tig wandering around the hallway mingling with us regular role podcasters though. Let’s head on over to gossip Corner. Angela Johnson Reyis went to a BUCkies. She filmed some clips in the BUCkies, such as It’s clothing, the poo perie, the kitchen ware, and the Cowboy aesthetic blankets.

She also hung out with Bucky the Beaver. Got a whole bunch of festivals to tell you about. In Houston, where there’s probably a BUCkies. It’s the Riot Comedy Festival. Sam Talent is your headliner at seven o’clock, and it looks like nine to thirty on their little graph here.

Friday nights headliner is Chris red Oh. You know who else is there? Hans Kim. You know Hans from that Kill Tony show whose artwork is upsetting people who they’re going to be so mad in Nashville. It’s the Nashville Comedy Festival.

Seventy shows over eleven days. Wow, that’s great. Andrew Farwell is the vice president of Outback Presents, and he told News Channel five Jay Leno and Arsenio Hall are coming to the Ryman for the first time ever. We’ve got Nicky Glazer, host of the Golden Globe. She’s one of the hottest comedians right now.

It’s unbelievable. Tonight at the Ryman seven o’clock, Mark Norman over at Zany’s Veer Das at the Pinnacle, Rodney Carrington. We never talked about Rodney, but Rodney’s pretty big. Uh oh, you know what’s at the Bridgetone Arena on Friday night. People gonna be very upset kill Tony.

People gonna be so mad. I can’t believe kill Tony’s here. That’s not real comedy. That’s just people getting up and being pro dudes for a minute. It’s not funny at all.

Watch the show. It’s hilarious. Relax. Okay, what other comedy festivals you got? First?

John a multi day comedy festival is returning to Union Square. That’s New York City, one hundred and seventeen year old Paragon Sports. Yeah, that’s like a place you go to buy jerseys and stuff. They’re doing a three day event April thirtyeth through May second. It will feature twelve comedy shows over three nights, seventy five dollars a night.

Who’s performing, John That is a secret. It will not be announced in advance. Seventy five dollars to see comedy at Paragon Sports and he won’t tell me who’s playing. Yeah, that’s the thing you want me to do. Oh hey, last year if you just want to see, like, you know, what kind of comedians might be.

Last year’s event featured Christa Stefano and Marcelo Hernandez. But I think out of all these the comedy festival I think is the coolest. LA is going to host the Belly Laughs Comedy and Food Festival celebrating Asian American culture. What a great lineup here? This is in La at LA Live July twelfth and the thirteenth, stand up sets and appearances from thirty comedians and a sampling of more than twenty Asian restaurants.

I love this. The lineup includes Hasan Minhaj, Kamil Nan Gianni, Margaret Schow, Joe Kim Booster, Nimish Patel, who’s getting five mentions the show all of a sudden, Irene two who’s fantastic let’s say, Sabrina Wu Jinny Yang, Aaron Chen and others. But there’s also food. Restaurants include Boba Pop, Feng Mao, Good Alley, Hermanos empanadas doesn’t sound very Asian to me, but I don’t know. Holy Basil in the Riviera Seafood Club sounds like a really fun time in July, Oh when people are upset with Damon, Wayne’s junior.

He was supposed to be playing the Blue Room Comedy Club for a few shows. Apparently he canceled for the third time. Deborah spent two hundred dollars and bought three tickets. She said he looks just like his dad. I thought it’d be awesome to see him.

According to Deborah, Damon was supposed to play the club last summer, but it was rescheduled for the fall and then April. She’s a little annoyed now going just refund our money, quit telling us he’s going to be here. Eventually. Christopher is the owner of the Blue Room and says he hates it when this happens. It’s show business.

We don’t want any cancelations. We’re making this right by actively issuing refunds to all customers. Nice job there. Ticket Holders could also get credit to see another show of their choice and a food voucher, but Deborah said, I don’t want to go to other shows. I want to see Damon Waynes Junior.

I don’t want to tell you he won’t show up. And that’s your comedy news for today. That was a fun one, right, Good to be back. Seed to whorrow

Caloroga Shark Media. Hey there, I’m Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Remember Louis C.K. Did some stuff and then we canceled him and we never heard from him again. Well, he’s kicking off a year long tour April seventeenth, with two sold out dates in Winnipeg, Canada.

The tour continues through April fourth, twenty twenty six. I didn’t misspeak there. Yeah, this is going to go on for a year. Ck had done an email blast explaining to his fans, I’m working out many clubs now. He played a club right in my town.

I didn’t know that it was happening until it was quite sold out, and plus I think I was heading on vacation somewhere, so it’s kind of like, eh, I’ll just stay home. That reminds me though, I should probably check in to see who is playing that place. Just checked. Nobody super major. They’ve added, but they’ve got Rachel and Adrian.

Okay, not too bad. See Kay’s that I’m working out in many clubs now and through the next few months, getting the new joke stories in general stupidities ready for the tour. I took about two years off before this tour, and I’m very glad I did. I’m having a great time on stage now and I’m excited to share this crap with all of you. I hope you can come because I like you and I’m not afraid of you.

C K signed off the email blast, happy to be lucky to be alive. For those of you wondering what I’ve been doing, I’ve taken up sculpture at clay and stone and drawing with charcoal. I’ve written a novel and I’m working on a second. That about wraps it up on me. But it’s true.

It’s the part of the brain that knows how to reflexively care for child because it isn’t as easy as babysitting. Like it’s your mother’s intuition. Those are the eyes in the back of your head, all those senses that are in fact over developed because you’re inflamed when you become a mom. So it’s the reason why I can anticipate what my child might need, or why a mom can do that. So while you’re out looking for your phone, you’re still making sure your child doesn’t fall or grab a knife.

So does a give and take. I often forget to use a turn signal now, but at least I know my daughter’s favorite foods a late times. How do you balance mom brain with comedy. I don’t know if it’s a balance. A balance just suggests you haven’t fallen so off killed that you’re in some sort of mental facility.

And I know that women often get asked about that there is no balance, it’s just doing it. I just get up, I put one foot in front of the other, and I do the best I can. And I know from watching other moms, I’ve decided it never come down too hard on myself, like you’re really doing the best you can, and the good news is your kid doesn’t know any better, and just do it to the best of your ability, knowing that you’ll be faulted for much in the way you faulted your parents anything you did and didn’t do. Anyway, we might as well have let them have that cookie. Eliza said.

They consistency of getting up in those clubs year after year and knowing everyone. That’s the one consistent thing in my life over the last twenty years, and it’s always been something that brought me such joy, and I love my fans so much. The heart is broken when you’re not with your kids, and then when you’re with them, you’re like, oh, I need a break. But it’s a weird thing, like you’ve become two different people. When I leave home to do the shows, I just have to know that my heart is in pieces.

But I got this amazing job. But I can’t say that I get the joy from being on the road the way I did before. Like I’ve been to Pittsburgh, I’ve been to Austin. I’ve been to the gift shops. I’ve been to the bars, beating the steak.

All I want to do when I get off stage just to go to sleep so I can get home the next day. That’s called turning forty. Eliza, welcome to the club. I don’t know how old Eliza as. How old is Eliza forty two?

Yeah? You turned forty, That’s what happened there. You just want to go to bed. I got to a point where if you start a census with, hey, man, do you want to go to No? I don’t.

I don’t care what the rest of the sentence is. And you know the odds of you going see the Rolling Stones. I have backstage passes. Then I’d be like, oh wait, oh, no, yeah, I can’t go. But for the most part, Hey, John, do you want to know?

I just want to sit home watch TV. I’m old. That’s why I really like a friend of the show, Jason’s intimate, who has counseled me that you know it’s okay to watch a comedy clip online. Thank you, Jason Zinitaman. In front of the show, Liza said, when you’re a woman, you’re always gonna get asked more about your children than men do.

And for me that was a bit of a stutter step, because even to begin talking about something as life changing, life affirming and life shattering as having kids, these are waters that you’ve never navigated before. And I’ve gotten horrific comics like You’re not gonna talk about your kids, are you, which is disheartening because men get to do that and it’s like, oh, that’s so charming, give them a sitcom, but when women do it, it seemed like, ah, well, she’s unaffable now she has kids. That’s not gonna be for me. I’m just reacting to that. I don’t think that way, but I guess people that’s awful.

Eliza says, I also have a lot of hot takes about other things. So for me, the commentary on being a mom is less about the specissivity of an interaction with my child and more commentary on societies commentary on women having kids, And with that I keep it to a minimum. So I’m still blown away with experience that I’m having. I haven’t processed it all yet, so in five years I’ll complain about the kids. Bert Kreischerho spoke to Las Vegas Magazine.

Bert shared, I think it’s always been clear that have been drawn to tragic characters like Chris Farley and John Belushi, But when I got into comedy, everyone seemed to be on the straight and narrow. I didn’t meet Ron White until later in life, and it’s hell quit drinking pretty quickly into me doing stand up. I think if you’re wondering who my canary in the mind is, that, of course is Doug Stanhope some folks that Burt enjoys. Tim Dillon makes me laugh hard as s Theo Vaughn and Staffers Halkias. He never do a bad podcast with same with Big Jay Ogerson and Dan Soder, all those guys is absolutely deliver when they’re on a podcast.

Ali reporter asked Andrew Schultz about comedy Gatekeeping, pointing out it used to be Johnny Carson than Letterman. Who’s it now? Everybody say it together? On three one two three, Joe Rogan Andrew said, I think it’s Rogan and Kill Tony Tony Hitch close show, especially for new comics. I’ll hear reporter, what are you all called the maniverse?

The manisphere? Andrew, the manisphere. It’s so funny. I guess we’re that we’re a bunch of guys that we’re just having locker room talk or whatever the f that term is. I think the tricky thing is when we get labeled in certain ways, like ah, they’re all sexist, racist bigots, and I’m like, I’m not gonna have some writer from Maine to tell me I’m racist.

Stop. I know you didn’t grow up with anybody but white people, but I know you got this NPR job or whatever, but I don’t think you need to tell me how to be an ally. This happened with Bernie Sanders. When Bernie caught steam, the Democratic Party tried to suppress him a bit, and they started labeling his followers the Bernie Bros. And they’re like, he has a sexist problem and a bigotry problem, all these same things.

Then the second had started seemingly being helpful for Trump. It was the same playbook. People getting privy of that. I don’t think it’s advantageous for that to be used. Paraphrasing here from the Holler reporter, Hey, look, Andrew, some people think you helped Trump get elected.

Andrews said, listen, for every election, we want two candidates that we love. I mean, that’d be awesome. Me and Charlie, Me and the God who have been doing brilliant idiots for ten years. Charola Maine’s close with Kamala. He had Comma on the pod.

I had Trump. We’re boys for ten years. We’re talking crap about politics every single week. It doesn’t matter to me. That’s the version of America you want to see.

You want to see you guys who might have somewhat differing ideas, but it can cross the aisle tons. I up as a Democrat my whole effing life. I grew up in the arts in New York. My family had a dance studio. I was going to the ballet.

So to me, that’s the best version of what we can be. We’re all talking crap to each other, making fun of each other, and then we’re disagreeing on how unconstitutional Doge might be. Vir does broke to Yahoo Canada, where he finds his audience is usually made up of around sixty percent Indians. Vier says, I think a lot of people coming for two reasons. Maybe the Indians are coming in because they want to get caught up with home, because they miss home, and I’m kind of bringing home to them.

Large part of the audience their parents are from where I’m from, but it’s not the place I’m actually from. What I find is a lot of Indians they kind of grew up with this time capsule version of India that their parents left behind. So if your mom and dad came to Canada in seventy five, that’s what you grew up believing India was. You know, when you’re twenty one years old and it’s my job to come in and be like, no, I’m from Mumbai. This is what we do think your parents told.

He was a lie. This is modern India and we’re hopefully a little more fun and a little more audacious than you thought. Blood Yellow dot Com is your home for comedy news, And they told the story of the time John Jones almost made Jim Norton pass out with a leg kick stunt. Yes we’re talking UFC. John Jones was out promoting UFC one forty.

He appeared on the Opian Anthony radio show. Part of the show was a running gag where Norton would allow a fighter to put him in submission hold. Jim offered to take a kick from John Jones. Jones lined up through what appeared to be a kick far from full power. Jim immediately let everyone in the studio know he was in severe pain.

Norton’s first words were that he feels like I have to cramp. Norton reflected on the moment on a podcast with Dan Soder. Hurt me so much, I almost vomited. I remember I had the urged a crap and to throw up. I remember he sent me back in a shock.

He put a shit into my thigh and it was fight week two, a bad week, and he also choked me. I remember I went to the bathroom and I was like, I think I’m going to pass out. Jolt News caught up with comedian Sam Miller, who can work both clean and dirty. Miller said there’s a lot of comics that I think it’s not really art if you have to follow rules. I’m very proud that I can switch back and forth, because a lot of other comics can’t work clean.

I don’t mind at all. Sam starred in comedy through the Twelve Steps program, explaining I never thought that comedy was like a thing for a guy like me. It didn’t seem like it was possible. I thought there was no way people would laugh at this stuff. I don’t talk about these issues with an air of shame.

There’s nothing to be ashamed about. Addiction is a disease, and the AMA says it’s a disease. People wanted it to be better immediately, but there are no easy solutions. There’s so much stigma on being a drug addict and homeless, and then you start talking to people and realize even though drug addiction was a very personal problem for me, it’s a very visible, public, social, and political problem. Comedy is a jovial place where we can all laugh together and create amity and camaraderie.

And Jason Alexander was recently on Tom Poppa’s podcast and Jason said, here’s the truth. It’s kind of a weird truth. The only one of the core for I really got to know over the nine years of Seinfeld was Julia. Jason said he became more aware of how he knew Michael Richards after reading Richard’s book. Jason said, I got in touch with him and I said, I love the book.

But here’s what’s said. I don’t think I met this guy. You were doing stuff I wasn’t even aware of. Jason explains, Michael’s process was so isolated in some ways, and I didn’t want any interfere with that process. Jason says that Jerry Seinfeld didn’t open up to his castmates at all.

I don’t find that the least bit surprising, but Jason explains that Jerry wasn’t just acting. He was working on other aspects of the show. He came down, we had fun, We enjoyed each other, and it was a lot of laughs, and I know some things about what was going on his life, but I wasn’t a confidant. He’s down, he’s rehearsing with us, and then he’s in the editing room, or he’s in the casting office, or he’s writing, he’s doing something else. So I didn’t hang out with Jerry and as a result, I don’t really know him all that.

Well, that’s kind of sad, isn’t it, Like I get it? Uh. And if you ever met Jerry, I wouldn’t use the word warm. He’s not a douche. He’s just like he’s exactly what you think he is.

Like he comes in, he’s not impressed, he doesn’t want anything. He’s not like, hey, I gotta have a bottle of champagne. He’s just there to do the job. Doesn’t want to be your friend. He’ll fist bump you.

Not looking to take selfie’s not looking to hang out, doesn’t want to talk about Seinfeld. But again, not a jerky way, just like I’m here to do business. Let’s doer thing. Okay, all right, that was great, guys, See you later, Annie Leaves. Jason did say if any Seinfeld cast members needed any help, Jerry would be there for them in a second, but clarified they had a work friendship, not a social friendship.

And that is your comedy news for today. If you enjoy the program, tell a friend about it. They might like it too. One way you could support the show is gonna buy me a coffee. Dot com a slash Daily Comedy News have been really into the pistachio with the National Donuts Chaine.

I’ll take your money and I’ll buy one of those. Or if you’d like to take that five bucks and get the show commercial free. You know, that’s probably a lot smarter than buying me a coffee, to be honest. If you’re on Apple podcast click the banner that says uninterrupted listening.

Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, i’man Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedy News. Chelsea Handler commented on her ex boyfriend Joe Coy hosting the Golden Globes. Chelsea, who has hosted similar events, said, comedians who’d love to be thought of in the same light as these A listers, but we just aren’t. You may recall that one time Joe Coy made a mean, horrible joke about Taylor Swift.

Here, let’s listen the big difference between the Golden Gloves and the NFL. On the Golden Gloves, we have fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift. April Fool. Hi, it’s actually Johnny Mack. Thank you Mike Chisholm for a really kind of stupid lame break of the show.

I scot back at Happy April Fool’s Day to you, Okay. Your comedy news for today. From Boston Positive dot Com, Donnel Rawlings talked about legacy and he says it’s interesting because people say, what’s your legacy gonna be? You never know because you won’t be here to experience it. He pointed out.

Entertainment Weekly is a list of the top one hundred television shows in the history of television, Donnell says, and I was part of two shows that were considered to be in the top one hundred, can you name them? One being the Wire to Chappelle Show. I get people sometimes you have people that are negative and they’re like, what has he done since Chappelle’s show. I’ve done a lot. I’m not going to be apologized for being on one of these shows that people consider one of the greatest shows in TV history.

So people could say that I’ve already made history. I’m not trying to rewrite history. I’m not trying to out do Chappelle show. I’m just trying to maintain a level of consistency, a level consistent with my stand up, my acting stuff, and just keep it moving. People call me day day on the streets.

They call me Ashley Larry, they call me beautiful, but they call me so at the end of the day, I’m winning. The Irish Times saw Ricky Gervas and Dublin last week. They didn’t like it two stars out of five. Ouch shock humor wears thin as comedian shares message of defiance. The Irish Times tells us Jerves ticks his edgy boxes, firing out one liners about dead children, Islam, rape, pedophilia, and suicide.

Boy, there’s some fun topics after anything particular severe, he makes sure to leave space for guilty laughter, digging his toes in and spluttering convincingly the willing audience swirms into cackles. Plenty of it is just stark imagery. Somewhere along the way, Derveas seems to have lost sight of the fact that the joke can both offend people and separately not to be very funny. One of the plus points, writes to Dublin Times, is that Mortality moves away from Jervas’s rightly condemned transphobic material. It is self deprecating moments too, particularly around the loose threat of aging that occasionally links the show to it’s titled.

Towing the line between blowhard and butt of the joke traditionally was one of Jervas’s big strengths. It’s a snappy set that fills out towards the end with a series of drawn out anecdotes from his time hosting The Golden Globes, an odd story about homophobic soccer chance aimed at Elton John. Before his encore, Jervas shares a celebratory message of defiance with the audience. We pushed back and we won, so f them two stars out of five. Tom Popa spoke to Seattle Magazine about how the industry has changed.

Papa said, it’s great now. There used to be a lot of gatekeepers. Now you can build your own crew directly with your audience through podcasts, YouTube and specials. The great thing about stand up is if you’re funny and the people like it, that’s it. You don’t need anyone to let you in.

It’s been great for me in younger comics who wouldn’t have been heard twenty years ago. Now they have an opportunity because there’s no denying it. Tom spoke about mentoring younger comedians. I always take them on the road with me. I like telling people what they should do with their lives, so whenever someone asks for advice, I’m happy to give it.

Good question here, Tom, If you weren’t a comedian, what would you be, Papa said? Sometimes I think I’d be in sales because I like talking to people, but I wouldn’t be a hard sell guy. Another dream is to work for a community newspaper, writing the funny column in the back for a small beach down. Tom. When you bomb, what’s the first thing you do?

Tom says, walk directly into my car or my room, Just get me out of there. Advice for other comics when it bombs, Papa says, it happens once in a while. It’ll happen if I do a corporate gig or something and it’s a culture that wasn’t looking for comedy, or if they just got bad news and you have to get up there do your thing and it doesn’t work forever reason, I guess my only advice would be, it’s not a huge reflection on you. If you’re funny twenty times in a row and your bomb once, it’s probably the circumstance, not you. But if you bomb again tomorrow, then maybe you should start to worry.

Sarah Silverman spoke to the Maui News, your home for comedy News, and she talks about being a child. I would say the things that informed my life the most was my dad teaching me swear words when I was a toddler. I’d scream them out at the supermarket and I would get the reaction of approval, like adults giving me wild approval despite themselves. That felt addicting to me, especially early in my career. Surprise was a big element I loved having.

Also being a bedwetterer well into my teens informed a lot because nothing felt scared to me after that. Nothing intimidated me. After that, I’d been through the height of humiliation teenage bedwetting. I wasn’t intimidated by the thought of bombing or being laughed at for the wrong reasons. None of that scared me, so it prepared me for a perfect life in comedy.

New topic from Sarah, doing politics in comedy. That’s something I even struggle within this very podcast because it tends to come up every day, and I’m not trying to annoy anyone. I’m just telling you what’s happening in the news. Sarah saysn’t been thinking about it a lot. I’ve always been pretty political, and it’s become so overwhelming, and I’m not going to give up on it per se or anything.

I do feel that my job as a comedian has more than ever for me anyway, and then if I can keep people laughing at times like this, that’s a job well done. Andrew Schultz told The Hollywood Reporter he found his fertility journey funny from the beginning. Schultz explains, I remember the first time we had sex to have a baby. I’d come back from Burning Man. I remember my wife being like, Okay, let’s start.

I remember there was a little part of me that was like, that sperm is like half Molly. I’d be fine if it didn’t work this month, That’s what I said to myself. But then you start spiraling. What if the kid ended up being a serial killer? Is because I’m doing crazy drugs at Burning Man.

So that was the first time, but then it didn’t work for a few months. I started talking on stage about what a lie it all is, this idea of just practice safe sex and all this other stuff they tell you that. I was terrified about my whole life. I just felt like I had wasted so much stress throughout my life. Interesting, right at that point, I didn’t know there’s anything wrong with my Sperm’s dude, you’re so arrogant you can’t imagine there being anything wrong with it.

That’s how arrogant I was. The night before we both got checked, I prayed it was my fault because I didn’t want my wife to deal with the heartbreak. Wow, that’s powerful. She was already telling me her theory. She’d be like, I had my laptop on my stomach when i’d watch movies as a kid, and that’s at my ovaries.

And then I remember the doctor telling us that hers were perfect and that my sperm sucks. Even that was a funny moment because I was like, Ah, of all the things I prayed for in my life, the amount of snow days when I did my homework done, this is the one you answer. Then the weirdest thing would happen. There’d be guys that come up to me after a show and they’d be like fireman guys. They’d be like, hey, man, those really funny stuff.

I was like, oh, thanks, man, Yeah, I really like that. Man, glad you’re talking about that. At first, they wouldn’t say they went through it, but the amount of people that would message me was wild, and I started to go, wait a minute, or people having trouble getting pregnant. You gotta understand. I didn’t know this was an issue at all.

It was just like an issue for me and my wife. But the number of dms that’d get it was like, Wow, this is the last thing that people are uncomfortable talking about. The last taboo thing, and I get it. It’s so painful. Switching topics.

The Holly Reporter said, you want up filming your special at the Beacon in New York. You were supposed to do it at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. What happened? Schultz said, it was supposed to be at BAM and then I don’t know. Everything seemed fine and then we had Trump on the podcast and they were like, yeah, we talked to the board.

THHR was curious, was that the only fallout from having Trump on the show? Andrews said, well, I think the negative of getting involved in anything like politics or religion is that you’re either a he hezo or a villain. The Toronto Guardians spoke with Emily Jeffers, who describes her comedy style as I do clown work, which if you’ve never seen a clown show before, is a bit different from sketcher improv that there’s no fourth wall, so the clown is always aware of the audience and how they’re reacting. I develop my shows to have a repeatable structure or sequence, but there’s room for improvising or adapting or whatever’s happening in the room during any given performance, so each show’s a little different. My work is usually character driven, very playful, and physical.

The vibe is generally a healthy mix of strange, charming, and joyful without being sacering or infantilizing. I think we need more of that. Right now, you’ve heard me talk for the last week and a half. I’m kind of bored with comedy right now. Maybe I need to go clown.

Who are your influence is, Emily Jeffers. Emily says, probably the cartoons I watch as a kid. A lot of my humor and aesthetic choices can be traced back to Looney Tunes, Ren and Stimpy, The Simpsons, and the film Fantasia. Favorite comedian growing up, Jim Carrey. But I also watch a lot of Monty Python and Kids in the Hall.

Favorite comedian right now, may mark? Favorite bit you’ve written and why are we proud of it? Good answer? Here, beat Bats. I had a bit where I was flying in slow motion to the theme music from BBC’s Planet Earth.

By the end of the sequence, I was fairly out of breath. They exhaled sharply and accidentally ejected my rubber batfangs from my mouth and directly out of the middle of the stage. The room lost it as I just stared at my teeth on the floor. I think what I’m proud of is that I was able to hold onto the moment and stay in character while I used my tiny batthands to get my teeth back in my mouth. It was a beautiful gift from the clown gods, and I will spend the rest of my performing career at chasing that high.

How do you find new comedians, she says, I love a good Instagram doom scroll. That’s how I came across folks like otsko At Kotzka, Rosie Jones and beiswa Kelian Wrath. I’m not familiar with Rath sortier a pai, which I said in perfect French right there. I don’t know why you’re eyrolling me. You’re home for comedy news in France, they previewed the April twenty twenty five Paris comedy scene.
